ROFL
god I can hear that song in my head now!

An' yeah, it's kinda cold out.  Normals for this time of year is +2/-8, and they're forecasting -3/-13.  So off by about 5 degrees.  But hey, we had _warmer_ than seasonal last week.

Roads were scary when I went to the rink.  I saw a car behind me put his right front tire up on the curb, which then swung him around and he slid sideways into a tree.  I was busy trying to stop so I wouldn't slide into any cars in front of me.  Took me longer to stop from 20km/h than it normally takes from 60km/h.

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.

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.

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

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