Snow

[Mr. Analog]

You all sound surprised as if it doesn't happen almost every year.

I'm not surprised, I just don't like it.

Exactly

I will say that I was surprised at the extreme slipperiness of the roads here in St Albert last night while it was snowing.  It's been since before I had kids that the first snow of the season (well, second) actually saw me contemplating using curbs and trees to slow me down so I didn't slide into cross-traffic.

Nevertheless you're right, first real snow of the season always results in slippery roads and sidewalks.  And it _did_ look pretty coming down.

[Mr. Analog]

Yes, it's very greasy out and yet, not much ice so far.

Suffice to say I was taking my time getting to the bus stop this morning.

I will say that I was surprised at the extreme slipperiness of the roads everywhere

FYP ...sidewalks sure gave me quite a workout as my leg muscles micro-adjusted practically every step...

[Mr. Analog]

Yeah, not only have to get used to wearing boots again but real slippery sidewalks (and yet, like I say, no ice)
