Losing my grip

It snowed this morning!! Beautiful white snow!

I would have taken a picture, but my body was in shock because I had to wake up so early. Call it a post-weekend sleep hangover. I was lucky I made it out the door with my clothes on the right way.

The snow did make for a treacherous 20-minute commute to work today, instead of my typical 6-minute zippy trip up the road. It also made me wish I had already put my new studded tires on my car. However, I did make it to work in one piece. It's amazing how driving 30 kph keeps you on the road.

This evening I went for a walk on some very icy sidewalks, which makes me want to go out and buy something grippy for my shoes ASAP. I did however quite enjoy listening to some happy new tunes I put on my iPod, so it wasn't a total loss. I got the hang of walking on the sidewalk after a bit. All it takes is hold your arms out to the sides and a careful penguin-like waddle.
