Ugly, ugly drive to work. The whole city is a sheet of ice. FORTUNATELY, which is not always the case, everybody on my route drove slowly and carefully. Sliding at all intersections. A white knuckle drive.

Aww, Man! What fun is that?

Good thing studded tires are legal in Alaska! (I guess...unless some twit has outlawed them by now...) The best combination we found was a HEAVY 1978 Cadillac El Dorado with front-wheel drive. Studded tires on the front?? You betcha! That puppy could climb walls.

Take care out there, Kathy! Slipping and sliding on the road is no fun especially when there are other cars. I should know! LOL! Luckily for me, I survived it.

I dread the day when it finally snows here in our neck of the woods. Well, OK, snow is fine - the nice fluffy kind but not the slushy, wet, icy one.
