    How's the weather?

    Checking-in with you other mid-Atl. ladies. How did you fare in today's storm?

    Here on my side of the mountain we got 5 inches of snow before it turned to sleet & freezing rain. Didn't work today - school closed - but tomorrow is an admin. work day (end of the semester) & I am supposed to go in 2 hours late. Not sure the Element will want to climb up and out of here - it will be the first test of it since I bought it last summer.

    How much precip. did y'all get? Stay warm and safe!

    I had a 3:00 appt to get two new tires, as my front ones were nearly bald. That drive to the tire store was not pretty. It was quite ugly on the capital beltway around 2:30!! I shoveled about 4 inches, heavy wet snow but at least no ice, so easy to shovel. Now I'm hoping that my sidewalks don't ice up, though I just peaked out the window and it looks OK so far! I'm glad to be in the house under the covers right now, and needless to say there was no outdoor exercise in my schedule today.

    I don't know how much we got up here but I took the opportunity to wear the wool knickers and socks that BMccasland gave me and we went out for a romp.




    My tires are bad too and I was supposed to work tonight. No way. Driving in freezing rain would make me a nervous wreck.

    Possegal- the beltway? Bald tires? are you MAD, woman?!

    Why yes, yes I am. I had an appt tuesday and totally brain farted right through it. DOH! So I was the one on the beltway going about 40. Luckily, so was everyone else. Now I'm good to go, though I still wasn't about to go out tonight, why risk it!

    What route and what are you riding?

    Completely off-topic-I was at your hospital yesterday but down in the bowels of radiology getting an MRI and ultasound then went to the Starbucks on Reservoir Road. We would never have had time to meet.
    Finished the Bryson book too, love that guy's writing.
