First "Real" Snow

Well it seems I was a little premature on my excitement for the first "real snow". As it turns out, we had a pretty good "real snow" on Saturday. This picture was taken in the afternoon, but you can see that all the cars that hadn't been driven all day were covered. Also, the parking lot had not been cleared (who knows if my car was in an actual spot). The streets of Bloomington hadn't been cleared either. I guess the fact that it was a Saturday morning may have had something to do with it, all I know is I hope they get cleared in a more timely fashion when this snow stuff is a regular occurrence. I went to the gym in the morning and although I slid as soon as I turned out of my complex, I figured that things couldn't be too bad. I stopped by the post office box on the way to the gym and in trying to get close enough to drop my letters in, I almost ended up WAY too close (i.e. on top of the mailbox). Good times!

I went to the Nutcracker with some friends that afternoon which was lovely, but it was a lousy day to be out and about. I'm just glad I had finished all my errands on Friday and didn't have to do a lot of running around in the weather. By the end of the day I had seen 2 accidents, 2 cars facing the wrong direction in the middle of the road, 1 car with a light pole between the headlights, 1 car sitting on the side of the road and 1 car with a fire hydrant underneath it. Luckily my car and I made it home in one piece from all of the days events!
