Let It Snow

We got more snow today. Yikes. Another few inches. It's ironic actually, as I used to hate winter. Now, it's not so bad. I used to hate snow. Now, when we get a few inches, it's no so bad. I used to hate driving in the snow. Well, I still hate driving in the snow. I don't think that will ever change. I used to hate the cold. Now, cooler temperatures are OK, although frigid temperatures still suck.

Today, I went to the casino for a few hours. Upon leaving, the snow was already coming down. By the time I got across the river, the visibility was 1/2 mile or below, and traffic on the interstate came to an extremely slow pace. The roads were horrible. I guess the first snow that came down actually melted, then flash froze as temperatures still tumbled down. The roads were extremely icy as a result. It was scary. Actually, it took 1 and 1/2 hours to get home, in what usually takes only 30 minutes. Wow, I couldn't believe how slick it was.

And so, after arriving home, I decided that snow wasn't so bad. It's actually kind of pretty, especially when the wind doesn't blow. It blankets everything, and hides the ugliness. Our dog didn't like it very much, but otherwise, it's beautiful.
