Try to chill out at the office after what was a serious WHITE KNUCKLE DRIVE this morning. Interstate 395 in Northern CT right now is a skating rink :eek: Watched 4 cars spin out(both North and Southbound) in about a 3 mile stretch :eek: :eek:

Yeah that's always fun !!

Especially when some cowboy who thinks he's bulletproof driving a big 4WD ( usually his first one ) but forgets that Ain't gonna help him stop any better and ends up in a cornfield . I see more of that kind of thing or the timid driver who causes a damn 20 car wagon train @ 20mph

The one that really had me nervous was the box truck that just flew by me(I was going 25-30 at the time). I was watching him fish tail all the way up the left lane in my rear view mirror :eek: At that moment, I was actually a bit comforted by the fact that I had 18 wheelers both infront of and behind me kind of acting as blockers.

Right now I've been listening to a steday stream of ambulance sirens head to the hospital just up the street from my office. I'm guessing based on the roads here this AM, the GREAT police/fire/rescue crews have been busy

99% of the time, winter driving, even in the nastiest of conditions doesn't really bother me. I just use my 4 wheel drive + common sense(appropriate speed). Nowadays what makes me uneasy is when I have the kid(s) in the car and I see some a$$ hole driving like a bat out of hell, i.e. the stuff I CAN'T control when the roads are bad :mad: :mad: :mad:

Carrie : You are BY all acclaim--------- the Baking Queen and Confectionaire Extrodinaire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You do what you have to do. I've had cookie dough sitting in the fridge since Friday when I discovered the oven didn't work and needed to bake it up. B called around for the oven part once I had already started the toaster oven baking process... and luckily found a shop right around the corner from us that had the part in stock. So here we are with the regular oven operational again! YAY!!! Which is good... I still have a lot of Christmas baking to finish.

Taking a warmup break at Blue Mountain's Valley Lodge. Best conditions so far today. Packed Pocono Powder everywhere! Full TR later.

I'm hanging out at my sister and brother-in-law's house in Vancouver. From a skiing perspective, I picked a bad week to head to the PacNW. Whistler only has a 29" base. There's no point in bothering.
