Notes on driving this weekend
Some notes on driving this weekend.
Apparently we’ll have some snow Friday morning, followed by rain after midday, and then a plunge back down below freezing again in the evening, so driving (and walking) conditions may make getting around kind of interesting too.

It’s endless. Tuesday night was insanely bad for walking around my place, because all that very cold and smooth ice had a fresh layer of fluffy snow on it. So you couldn’t see the ice, and when you stepped on it the snow was like a lubricant. Oddly, yesterday was not slippery at all; it seems like the ice had developed a rough texture and the snow on top was hard packed, so there was grip. (That didn’t stop me from wiping out on rue MacKay yesterday…) I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like tomorrow.
Plus there’s the problem of flat-roofed houses (like mine) with 40cm of snow on top and then rain, Yikes!
