Sunday morning.
Snowing.
Did not get as cold as was predicted for this morning. Only chilled to 8 degrees above zero, not the one or two degrees below zero as had been predicted.
The white color scheme dominating the outer world looks to have become thicker overnight.
Yesterday, a little after 5 in the afternoon I had grown stir crazy from being icebound in my abode. I had seen a few vehicles looking to not have much slippery trouble driving slowly past my abode.
So, I ventured outside, thinking if it was not slippery making my way to the mailbox maybe I'd see what driving is like.
It was easy making my way to the mailbox, and so I decided to see if I could make it the mile and a half to Walmart.
Since there was basically no traffic, I ignored the red stoplights and continued on without stopping.
I only had one little sliding incident before reaching Walmart.
The photo documentation above is the view through my windshield. I took the photo when leaving Walmart, not from my parking location. I wanted a wider view, showing how few other fools had ventured out driving on the ice.
I do not think I will let getting stir crazy cause me to drive anywhere today. I'll just stay warm inside, looking forward to watching the Seattle Seahawks win the NFC championship and a trip to the Super Bowl, again.
However, I do have some worry that we may lose electric power, which would make it real difficult to watch TV...
