Actually, it didn't turn out to be as bad here as it might have been. Enough snow and wind, but no freezing rain, and visibility looked mostly okay, from outside my home office window. I'm thinking I probably could have done it, but (a) I didn't know that this morning, and (b) why bother?

I ended up going with my family to another family's house for supper, just a few blocks away so we could actually walk through the storm. They live on a pond which is long-since frozen over and have a small square of ice shovelled off, so we spent some time sliding around in our boots and sliding down the small hill on some sleds. It's about time winter finally got here!
