i hope none of the other canadians overheard that. they'd laugh themselves blue even though we keep telling them theirs is [kids in the hall voice]dry snow[/kids in the hall voice]. can't wait to hear how iceratt made out.

it's all gone here now. that's the thing with us - we have a temperate climate so whatever we get doesn't usually last very long. for us the issue isn't so much not being serious about snow as rarely ever getting consistent practice with it, and then when we do it's that sloppy treacherous kind. today we were back up at +4 and 98% humidity and the snow was pretty much gone.

i'm glad yours was okay. i think it was a weather forecast that made it sound so severe, not you. but i also think it's probably more sensible to over-worry anyway, just in case.
