The first week of December started off with mild temperatures for the season and a light rain falling when I drove down to KAGS for life drawing. When I came out of the Gallery three hours later I was greeted by a snow storm and had to brush the wet packing snow off my car. I was glad that I took the Blazer with its four wheel drive since this type of snow usually makes the roads icy if the township hasn't gotten out putting down sand and salt.
It was easy to pick out which people hadn't realized that there was ice under the snow. Because it wasn't like driving on dry pavement as they spun their wheels and fish tailed all over the place.

Needless to say the drive home was an interesting experience, especially when I watched a car approaching me from the opposite direction that was going down the road sideways. He continued that way right past me and on down the road as I glanced at his progress in my mirror until I went around a bend in the road and could no longer see him.

I was happy to finally make it home in one piece and be able to watch the snow through my living room window; instead of being out and playing in traffic with those not prepared to drive during a snow storm. By evening the storm ended and we had almost two inches (5cm) of heavy packing snow covering the ground.
Hopefully some of it will stay and we will be able to have a white Christmas this year.
