I remember sitting in my apartment in Albany NY many years ago watching a snowstorm that got all the way down to Atlanta. Everything was closed in Albany because we had 52 inches over a couple of days. In Atlanta they got 3 inches and everything was closed. There was a news reporter standing in the middle of an empty road with a bewildered look on his face and saying that they didn't have any snow removal equipment so they would just have to let it melt. At his feet there were little swirls of snow on a partly bare ground.

i've only had one bad experience with snow - totaled my care after trying to avoid a sideswiping driver. but i still love it. next time i am driving in snow i will be better prepared. that time i was an idiot and listened to a tire guy who sold me "touring tires" instead of my usual snow tires.

here it's a requirement to have snow tires on your car by december 15, which makes a good thing because we will get to go to plattsburgh earlier and i can order things i need (like printer carts) and get them sooner. one printer cart is $60 here - that's what i paid for the printer.

A new insulation and weatherization supply house opened up less than a mile from my house and the prices I got over the phone today were less than what I am paying now

Got a glass goblet that I have been hunting for years.  Found it on the internets and it's happy dance time.     :soph: :tigger:

That iTunes purchase that didn't work last night worked today. Now I'm listening to Killing Joke's album, Hosannas from the Basement of Hell :headbang2:

we didn't get the printer carts in plattsburgh because i forgot to order them, so it's a good thing we're going back in two weeks
but
we got some shoes on clearance. now wolfish has interview shoes and sneakers.

best part of the trip was finding GF bread that smells and tastes like bread.

Wow, you had coffee, before I could drag myself out of bed.

The good of the day, I slept in. I overdid it though. :P
