First Snow

There were sporadic predictions of snow for the end of last week and this past weekend. Thankfully they delayed their appearance until last night and did not interfere with my Wheaton road trip weekend to see friends and family.

This morning several other teachers and I were discussing the road conditions and the dreadfully slow traffic on the way to work. I began reminiscing about the first snow we'd experience in Michigan- or at least the first true snow. Dad and I would take the Blazer out in the significantly covered subdivision roads. I would have to drive the 25 mph speed limit and then slam on the brakes when Dad instructed me to do so. It was a great time to be reminded how the vehicle handles and regain confidence in the new road conditions. Upon relaying this story to my co-workers one gal leans over and simply said "You have such a great dad. He is just amazing." Thanks dad! :)
