The First Flakes Fall

Alternately: Deb is so smart!

The first flakes fell as I was about halfway home from Hannaford, going the long way to avoid a traffic snarl caused by the traditional people in cars being people in cars, with a monkey in the wrench of an oversized load going my way and a tough left turn to get into said mess.  Instead I went Fairview and Wareham, then neglected to take a second back route to avoid the not-really-that-bad center traffic.

They were starting to fall like they meant it as I carried in the groceries and snow broom, which is more useful carried out of the house after snow falls than retrieved from the Sentra where I’d stashed it.

By the time Sadie and I had put the groceries away (I can’t wait to harness that enthusiasm as she gets ever older and more capable), the world was already covered in white.  20 Minutes later, the roads are fully engaged and looking slippery.

So yay for only going to Hannaford!  And skipping the rest.

1. Sounds like we just missed each other at Hannaford.  I went after Julia was out of school, so about 11:45 or so and nothing was going on.  When I left, I had to brush my car off before I could go...and it took me a 1/2 hour to get home!  Yikes!  E and K have a 1/2 day today (just by chance and having nothing to do with the weather) but I am fully expecting that they will be later than the usual 1:30 arrival time that goes with a 1/2 day.
