    This was my view today, it was a slippery one! As you can see in the pic, traffic wasn't much of an issue today. We'll have a number of days like this throughout the winter. Around here, we suck it up and drive in it (slowly). We very rarely shut down altogether. If we stopped in this weather, we'd be sitting for way too long. This is supposed to keep up for another week or so. I already have other motivation besides the snow to drive slow... I get paid hourly!

    yes, I admit, I was taking pictures when I should have been driving.:biggrin_25512:

    Great pic, there is something peaceful and serene about that. I'd love to visit there someday.

    Good luck Latanea! The roads here are the pits. There is a certain corner that attracts trucks to hit the barrier, and yesterday I was slip sliding towards said barrier, knowing it would be ugly, as well as there being a car broken down metres beyond because he hit the curb then the barrier... and miracle of miracles... traction appeared out of the blue, and I managed to avoid the magnetic barrier and the car...phew!
