2. I Drive A Truck On Days Like This
We had a late start this morning, due to the weather, but it wasn't bad.

11. That's an easy drive. The roads are well-plowed
Just try driving in that crap before they push it off the road. Now THAT's excitement! It was gridlock last night at rush hour.

10. She Is A Favorite Author Of Mine!
My grandma read all her books, my mom read all her books, I've read all her books, my son's read all her books, and my students love her books too! Plus, our first names are very similar, and I live in a log cabin. You're very intuitive Peggy!

4. I only saw 3 other vehicles!
And one of them might have just been parked. Nice photos, love those quiet snowy mornings.

6. Yeah, It Was A Bit Tricky Driving And Taking Pictures
But I just had an idea that I wanted to do it.

8. Beautiful pics.
I suspect your drive home last night was a bit wicked though. I am so thankful that I don't have to commute anymore.

Glad you're safe.

12. That looks VERY familiar!
Glad to see they got the roads plowed right away. Driving in the wet heavy snow (that probably covers an inch of ice) is not fun at all.

We got another 7.5" in St Paul yesterday between noon and the evening rush hour. They declared a snow emergency (2nd one in two weeks), and they're still removing snow from the streets today. Cars couldn't even get up some of the hills in town because the snow fell on top of an inch of ice. Good times...

I'm getting really sick of winter. I hope this is the last of it.
