Snow

[taxlady]

So, it's snowing, a little. They don't expect more than 1 cm of accumulation. Only light flurries for Sunday.

I'm surprised that I'm disappointed. I wanna practice skidding. I want my "winter feet" back. I had my fancy shmancy Hakkapeliita tires put on the car in October. Knud, the Volvo, likes to play in the snow. ;)

I guess it could be hard to sneak<\strong> out. But, you are wearing a gorgeous fur coat, so the cold shouldn't be too bad in little batches.

We ended up getting a good deal more than a cm today. This morning, while I was making my last batch of baklava, I kept hearing plows working up and down the street every half-hour. By the end of church, it was still snowing -- only stopped around 2pm or so.

So, did you get to practice?

Nope, I had already gotten my head into the space of waiting.

I noticed. The weatherchannel's website said that there was 0.2 cm of snow accumulated at Dorval. I looked out my back window and there was at least 10 cm on my patio furniture. Dorval isn't that far from me.

It was cold today too...it only got to about 64 today (17 C[anadian]). But, we are getting a nice light drizzle. Hopefully not too much, as there isn't much in the way of ground cover to keep the dirt from sliding every which way. This is also keeping the low temperature up. There were freeze warnings in Orange County last week.

Driving in winter with a rear-wheel drive car (like our respective Volvos) is like riding a bike...you don't forget how. What sucks is the first time you drive a front-wheel drive car in the snow when you've been driving a rear-wheel car.

17 C, cold - you're being a smartarse ;)

We ended up getting about 4 inches of snow.

Actually, Knud is front wheel drive. When I first started renting cars I had the shock of driving on snow with front wheel drive. I had never heard of torque steer - yikes. But, the first time I heard the term, I knew what they meant. Luckily, I don't get torque steer with Knud.
