Today is a good day to die… if you don’t know how to handle a car in this kinda stuff.
Getting home with the little guy this morning was much more adventure than I wanted. I was acutely aware of having precious cargo on board, and was perhaps a bit more nervous behind the wheel as a result… and still stopped (or kinda-sorta-almost-stopped) to ask folks who’d actually had wrecks if they needed any help. Help might take a while to arrive out here in the boonies – I thought it was worth asking about. I’d hope someone would do the same for me if I was in the ditch.
This’ll all reduce to slush today and refreeze tonight, and my street never gets treated by the county or anyone else. Best I can hope for is that Xena will shuffle out there and poop on the ice, and maybe I can get some traction.
Drat. After reading the title of this post I was expecting a talk about computer disk drives. 😉
On topic I will say that Albuquerque has missed the wet weather recently. The cold air bringing in the moisture has shifted North to Colorado. This is typical for the La Nina effect we are having this season. This means the drought in New Mexico will be pretty bad. So, while you are complaining about the snow, I’ll be having mixed emotions: Yes, the snow is bad but we could use some of that precious moisture.
