I’m not sure what time the rain began falling last night, but by 6:30 AM there was a glistening new layer of ice on the ground.\u00a0 Our driveway was nearly impossible to get out of and the following downhill seemed more like a luge run than a gravel road.\u00a0 Needless to say I only managed to avoid going into the ditch at the bottom because of my heroic Bond-like driving skills.\u00a0 I promptly parked the car and hopped in with Erin since she has the sweet escape which seems to handle the slippery roads a bit better than the bald rear tires on my KIA.\u00a0 The next 3 miles took us about 20 minutes to navigate doing our best not to end up in the ditch.\u00a0 When we finally made it to the highway the roads were fine.\u00a0 The rest of the day was less hectic as Mondays should be.\u00a0 The rain is supposed to continue for the first half of the week and then turn to snow sometime Wednesday.\u00a0 Looking forward to the weekend.<\/p>\n
