Early Winter

It snowed yesterday, but it seemed unthreatening. It resumed this morning. By 7:00 it was coming down in very large flakes. By 7:50, it had accumulated on the roads to such an extent that they were treacherous. Under a thick layer of slush was sheer ice, and the van lost traction repeatedly. The 45-minute commute took one hour and 35 minutes, though much of the time was lost at the bridge. There must have been an accident; certainly there were a few cars that slipped off the road, and a number that were simply parked, for no clear reason, on the shoulder. SUVs. This is early for such weather. Not a good sign!
