Watching for bad weather...

The predicted band of ice and rain has been delayed-- instead of occurring during "bus times," it is probably coming while we are at school-- and I hope that it pushes off in time for us to leave safely. That said, I'm going in early today to avoid the ice.

I hate winter driving, but especially ice. You can move snow, but ice is insidious. I'm glad I got my winter tires on yesterday, but they are no help on ice. I am not one bit thrilled, to say the least. G has to travel to work mid-day today, but that doesn't make it a whole lot better-- the Notch is notorious. And the rain that will follow the ice here in town will likely still be ice there. Ugh. The worry is real.

Meg is already at work, and will be until tonight, so she will likely miss all the messy driving. That's a help. 

Y'know, one thing that was good about remote learning was not having to drive in yucky weather. Alas, that is not an option, and likely never will be again, given the who and what that is and will soon be in charge. At least the scheduled "walking field trip" to see the Blackhawk helicopter today was postponed. 

Head down and blinders on,
