Cold photos

While the storm yesterday was much less than forecast by the local TV, it did coat the trees.


And, my wife’s car is clearly ready to go to Florida.


There are some schools of thought that say I should have scraped my windows more before setting off this morning.


But, they looked OK on the outside.


It was a nice sunrise.


The snow was very sticky. How sticky? Stay on your hood at 60mph/100kph sticky.


But, once at work in the sun, it melted off pretty fast.


It was funny, at least to me, that when I left for lunch the whole roof of snow slid off and made a snow trail behind me for about 50 feet.
I didn’t get a photo of that as it was the middle of the road and I was driving.

Interesting - I didn't think snow could be sticky? Is it just densey and icey to make it sticky.

Looks so pretty.

Snow is pretty to look at, but only in pictures. I really don't miss it.

That being said, driving around with a big old pile of snow on top of your car in NYC could get you a nice ticket. Not that it stopped anyone...

people who don't wipe the snow off their roofs and it comes flying off at me when I'm behind them on the road tends to
be a pet-peeve of mine, but I try to have enough distance behind them, as it's a really cool effect
seeing the snow 'explode'/"Poof" and dissipate. Makes me think like a Bond car releasing some countermeasure
or a fighter jet letting off chaff & flare.

Small cars don't bother me as much as SUV's and Trucks, though. I realize truckers can't get up to the roofs
of their trailers to wipe off all of that snow, so I try to keep my distance. But I feel SUV drivers have no excuse.
So many of them are so arrogantly proud of their behemoths, but won't take the 2 minutes to wipe the snow
off the roof = Lazy/Arrogance :P
