Snow

 

it's not uncommon for us to have that much snow, but i would like to complain about it nonetheless.
the drive to work this morning was a big mess. it was fine going down to Ella's daycare (phew!) but once i got to Hyde Park the roads resembled a ski slope (luckily it's flat here) and the drivers seemed to not know anything about driving on snowy roads. no plows to speak of, and the roads were not saulted. i drove very slowly and still felt the car sliding around a couple of times. i'm glad it was after dropping Ella off at school!
 

the road in this picture is one of the better ones - it's not plowed, just enough cars went through it to paint the snow brown.

[enter ben's complaint about Hyde Park below.]

I know nothing about driving when you have snow on the roads- but it looks soooooo nice!I am glad i didnt know about the difficulties of driving while we were talking on the phone when you drove that way.

the part of the drive when we were talking on the phone was ok. it's just after arriving to Ella's school that it became a big mess.
