Snowed madly all night, very messy drive. But the university cancelled all morning classes, and a lot of admin people did not go in, at least not early. So despite the road conditions, at least traffic was light enough for Other Drivers to be less of an issue. The parking lot was being cleared, so I parked in a different spot and a different direction. Which was good, because only the back of the car had much snow when I left at 1700, the front nearly clear.
I did have to make sure it was my car, it wasn't immediately obvious. And there is likely more snow tonight. Dylan figures it at 15". The drive home was iffy, but not scary.
Got asked to cover Thursday instead of tomorrow, which seemed like a great idea to me.
Dylan saw a woman out with her sled dogs. This was the best shot he could get, but she did have them actually running along the sidewalk later.
Happy February.

I once loved the winter...as a kid it was magical, sitting inside, looking out the window at Bend Oregon circa 1953, watching the flakes. As a teen, it meant skiing, Mt. Bachelor. Also a romantic christmas with vikki, my HS sweetheart at Mt Hood, in a cabin at Government Camp.
Now, alas, it's an inconvenience.....what a difference 55 years can make, eh? Now my only thought about winter is I don't want to die then....I'd rather last till Spring, and have a last Spring.
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic to your post. Just my thoughts.
Take care,
Mike
Should,
Not off topic at all. Good to hear from you. It is a huge inconvenience, especially when I have to drive in it. But getting out in the cold is good for this northern soul of mine. I seem to need at least a bit of real cold and snow in winter to feel right in myself. We took a walk in it after I got home, and as soon as I warmed up, I found myself smiling gleefully.
