As I was leaving the house at 8:05am for the grocery and the middle school, the snow had just begun to fall.  Two miles later, a few blocks from Kroger, I thought I had been transported to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!  After ten minutes in Kroger, the parking lot was completely white, and the car was covered.  The roads had suddenly become slick and vehicles of all sizes were sliding.  The usual 7 minutes trip from Kroger to the middle school turned into a 22 minute trip.  The 15 minute trip home after teaching was doubled, and then some.  

The snow has ceased, and the roads should be fine by school’s end.
