Snow, we've got it.

I shoveled the driveway yesterday. Well, most of it. I left it until the afternoon, and the plow had been by more than once, leaving the bottom of the driveway a hard packed mess. I shoveled the top (piling snow so VV could build forts), and 3/4 of the bottom (enough for me to get my car out). Derek is on his own. 

He has to go to work today, and chances are good he'll just take my vehicle.

We both have all wheel drive, but my Rav is a lot taller and heavier than the Impreza he's driving (both are my cars according to the ownership — his BMW just isn't great in the snow, so he stored it for the winter).

In other news, this morning's work out was stretching, since by last night I couldn't touch my toes after shoveling.

We've got snow, too. After ten days below freezing, I'm well over it.

I loved snow forts at her age. Fun memories.

I don't worry about Canadians. (Or Minnesotans). You know snow.

That cockiness has put me in the ditch more than once, though not for a long time. I remember driving down a no winter maintenance road in March, blithely saying "it's spring!"

Right until I hit a 4 foot drift and stayed there.

It was a bit of a walk to my friend's place to get her step dad to pull us out... I'm not sure I've lived that one down yet, and it was almost 30 years ago!

Also, holy crap, high school was almost 30 years ago.

I've met you, you know, and to me you are this gorgeous young chickie.

Yeah, I've been in the ditch. I just put on my dome light and waited for someone to pull over and hook up a chain to my front axle and haul me out.
