Snow's Back!

We got our first decent snow today. The world is white, the roads are slick! I seriously need my studded tires swapped on to the van... I'm headed in to the tire shop on Monday when I have the day off. There's no hope of having them put on over the weekend. Everybody and their cousin will be lining up by 7am...

Anyway, there was a jack-knifed tractor trailer on the Glenn Highway tonight. That's the ONE road out of Anchorage to the north. So I sat in standstill traffic for 1.5 hours while 4 lanes of traffic tried to squeeze through the one open lane available.

Thankfully there was one lane open. Sometimes the whole road is blocked and there's no alternative. You just have to sit there for hours until the accident is cleared and pray you don't run out of gas and freeze to death. As it was, I was an hour late picking up Alicia from the daycare, but still arrived 30 minutes before the daycare closed... So all's well that ends well.

Did I mention that I've been ill? I'm on the mend now. I just have laryngitis and a touch of bronchitis at this point... I'm desperately trying to recover my voice as I have a semi-important presentation to make tomorrow morning.



On a parting note... What's wrong with this picture?
