Winter Wonderland, Part II...

What a difference a few days makes... Drove Mrs. G. to work today, as we've gotten ~ 4 more inches of snow overnight and I'd rather drive her to work than get up early to snowblow the driveway.

Left the house at 6:30 AM. Street wasn't even plowed yet. And I didn't use 4WD until I had to pass the bucketloader ambling down the main road.

I forgot how much easier it is to drive in actual snow, as opposed to the partially plowed, sanded/salted to within an inch of its life stuff we normally deal with. Oh, that and the fact that we were literally the only vehicle on the road (including plows - hello?) made it a very easy commute.

'Course, Mrs. G. only works ~ 2 miles from home, so she could have snow-shoe'd into work if needed, but still...

(And yes, the children were rewarded for getting up early and getting in the truck by a morning trek to Dunks for donuts...)

That is all.
