I went out for a drive at lunch. We got about 5 inches of snow (finally!) this
morning and the driving is a bit slippery. You can see some of it here:
http://www.cbc.ca/ottawa/# on the traffic webcams. Not too spectacular. I was
pushing it when I could safely. The only disconcerting moment was when another
driver pulled out of a side street across my lane, turned towards me, skidded
into and bounced off the snowbank and threatened to come out into my lane, but
got it under control.
There's an S curve coming back into my work. YEE-HAA! I got the light coming
on through both curves. ( no-one was coming the other way ). I like push it a
bit, to get my winter legs on as soon as I can, so that I'm ready when the
unexpected happens. I want to know what the car will do when I need it to.
I saw pictures of Dallas in ice this morning on the AM news. And icicles
hanging off California oranges. We're supposed to be going to -15F tomorrow
night.
I'm happy that you like your Pathfinder. I guess you don't have an excuse not
to drive up to Canada in the winter now, eh?
