Blech, I have to say that I'm not happy with it's arrival, but c'est la vie, I suppose! We are in the midst of a winter storm (snow this morning, then ice pellets and freezing rain and then back to snow again) - which, needless to say, makes driving a tad more entertaining.
My commute from the Kingston Centre to our house usually takes me no more than 7 minutes (and that's taking into consideration a red light or two) on Friday, when the storm started, it took me 49 minutes to get home from the Kingston Centre. Oh yes...49 minutes. The main roads weren't too bad, all in all, but all of the drivers needed to slow down to look at the police cars that were directing traffic away from the closed sections of the 401, which meant that not only were there tons of cars on the slightly slippery roads, but we also had a fleet of transports to contend with...FUN!
I'd much rather it be crazy cold and clear than warmer and snowy. At least in -25° weather you can just hop in your car (after it's warmed up, of course) and drive with no worries of snow or freezing rain! The only down side is the perpetual cold that my feet ultimately suffer. I don't know about you guys, but when it's really cold out, I usually wear socks to bed. That being said, however, I don't think our bodies like to have socks on at night...at least mine doesn't, because there have been numerous occasions when I have woken up with a sock on or under my pillow and another buried somewhere beneath the covers, and no, I'm not awake when I take them off. How they migrate to my pillow is still a mystery to me.
In any event, I'm hoping that the winter will fly by (at least until our trip) and be long gone by the middle of May - it's pretty sad that I'm already wishing for winter to be over, seeing as how it's just begun... On that note, I'm off to bed, socks on feet and ice pellets tapping at the windows. Sweet dreams everyone!
