Winter

Yeah, so everybody who lives off of the mountain, thought you needed to know what you were missing....

Monday, missed half a day of work due to the fact our driveway and neighborhood roads were a snowy mess.  Then, this mess overnight... I haven't even been able to get to my car yet... by "can't get to my car" I mean that my 235lb self went down like the Lusitania a while ago trying to walk on the driveway... a couple of pics... that is not water, by the way, but 1-3" of black ice on the driveway and road... i am ready for spring....

Linda says "ditto" on the Lusitania bit.  Out our front door and away she went. The poor child couldn't go to work today because Sig. Mtn . Rd was closed this morning along with Roberts Mill and the "W"Road. She was really upset that her Boss told to stay home. ;D ;D ;D
   I guess you are stuck for a while. The last time I saw something like this was in the 1960 ice storm. and really it was worst .  Lookout Mtn looked like a giant iceberg for a week and Sig Mtn. trees in the woods were flat on the ground for a few years.

Made my way in to work a little bit ago, main road is clear now, James and our street were a bit sketchy....

The driveway was still a slab of clear ice.... I looked like a cat trying to poop.... crouching, creeping across the ice to get to the car, let the brake off, slid down the driveway into the street, put it in gear, and away to work i went.   ;D

Hope Linda is o.k., David... tell her she isn"t missing much up there today.   :D
