Slippery when frozen

We had about an inch of snow today up here. Just enough that when I had to drive somewhere tonight, I needed to keep my wits about me due to the ice on the road. Thank God for the Subaru (all wheel drive) and for our Finnish snow tires! Combined, they make winter driving up here semi-tolerable. But it made me think that we are getting to the time of year when you have to add a little bit of time to your travel arrangements to account for the weather and the roads. Just another little sign of the changing seasons.
