Snowed In

It seems that every winter we live here we learn something new. Two years ago, we learned to keep some rock salt and a snow shovel on hand.  Today I learned that I really do need to get a set of tire chains.

It snowed a little overnight.  Not much – about an inch. Under the snow the road is icy. A hundred yards down the road from me there is a small hill. I was not able to get the car up that little hill this morning. So currently the car is parked at the side of the road at the bottom of the hill.  I walked the hundred yard back home and hopefully things will warm up enough in a few hours that I can get up the hill.
