Sunday, Part 2

I just realized how lucky I am that my driving test was last Monday instead of tomorrow! I wonder if, given the weather, they won't just cancel any exams that are scheduled for the day.

The biggest problem wouldn't even have been taking the test, but getting to Limoux! Even if the snow stops, as predicted by the meteo, the Col will still be a pain. I do have snow tires this year, but I still don't really relish the idea of trying it with the presence of black ice being a strong possibility.

Right now, it looks as if we're just having icy rain, so that might make for some snow melt by morning. We'll just have to see.

I did, however, decide to climb up through the trapdoor in our roof and clear the snow off the satellite dish. Luckily, it was placed close enough that I was able to reach it with a long broom. But, I have to say that a glass trap door covered in snow is not a fun thing to open. Plus, you've got all that semi-melted snow that then falls down the back of your neck.

According to the Beanie-Ometer (a ruler stuck through the snow on her roof) we've had just over six inches of snow since yesterday. Nothing for those of you in Chicago or New England, but it looks like a lot to this ex-California girl!

Ciao for now!
