Bob, surprisingly, isn't a fan of it!
Granted it didn't snow much overnight but at the same time the temperatures didn't improve thus almost cementing yesterday's snow onto our driveways, steps and lawns. As pretty as it looks, the slippery it is.
Early this morning I had to take the boy outside and, yikes, was it icy. He didn't seem to mind and after having eventually lifted his leg, decided he wanted to stay out a bit longer. The ice was so crunchy and talkative that it woke our feral cat. Minutes later he could be heard cracking along on the icy road to reach us.
Today was designated as our shopping day and honestly, the fridge and co were getting rather empty. Snow or not, we had to go out. Yesterday I cleared the driveway of its layer of snow but when I wanted to do our lawn ( the bit where we have to drive the chariot over ) as well, Bob said not to worry as he would do it in the morning. I can tell you now, that this morning, early morning when he headed outside to shovel, he was regretting this generous offer.
Driving when it is so treacherous isn't for the faint of heart and even worse for those driving with a spousal passenger. Surely it was my spousal duty to mention the fact that he was firstly driving too fast ( although he was still in second gear ), braking too late and listening to music that should be heard with earphones. Well, I bet he says that about my taste in music!
Suffice to say that Bob stated categorically that winter is not to his liking and he couldn't wait for it to move along. Fair enough, the slippery snow and all it entails doesn't make me a huge fan of this part of winter either.
