Snow--duh!

Evening with Snow on the Lawn
Odenton, MD
January 3, 2025

 Break out the ice scrapers--it is 24 degrees this morning and it snowed last night. So not only is it cold, it is also snow covered and likely many ice patches. BTW, I did not bring an ice scraper with me on this trip. I guess I will use one of my metal credit cards as a substitute.

Chris and I were out last evening to dinner with Jeremy, Julie, and Luke. The snow started as we were driving to dinner and it reminded me of everything I do not like about winter. 

I was amazed at the number of vehicles which suddenly decided that driving 10 mph above the speed limit was suddenly about 40 mph too fast. Ugh. I felt bad for the drivers because I imagined their hands clenched on the steering wheel as their arm muscles started to fail from the previously infrequent use.  

And the serious storm is not due until tomorrow night. 

The important thing is that it snowed. Chris loves snow, me not so much. I guess that is why I pushed to retire in South Florida.
