Change of seasons

[Baeau]

We actually got a little bit of snow last winter, right as I was driving home from work in the dark. Not pleasant in an area where nobody knows what to do in snow (including me). Those lines on the highway just disappear, man! And we don't have winter tires, snow chains, or any of that stuff. It was pretty dicey for a while. I wouldn't mind some snow as long as I'm warm and safe at home.

We should be getting our first hard freeze this weekend, I think. I still need to put all my winter insulation on exposed pipes. Crud.

I did the water pipes, yesterday. I’m the only one of the family that has driven in the snow. I don’t like doing it. The fact that we have a couple of aging Range Rover(1988) & a Discovery 1 (1997), means little. Without snow driving experience, having four wheel drive simply allows one to drive into deeper snow prior to getting stuck.
