Snow Lessons

Our snowstorm from Friday has been most unusual for this area--still snow here days later, still blistering cold, and sunny.  Crazy.

Went for a walk in our frozen wonderland, and marveled at the drivers unaccustomed to such conditions.  Here are the lessons I distilled from watching the  pickup trucks:

• Yes, 4-wheel drive gives you traction and you can drive on packed snow
• You don't have as much traction as you think (so slow down!)
• Other drivers (of small cars, for example) don't have the traction you do, and will make you slow down, if only to avoid them.

And, upon thawing out at home, I looked over the Xmas apron bounty and was able to correlate each snow lesson with a corresponding Sewing for Xmas lesson:

• Yes, starting to sew in September means you have better traction towards finishing gifts before December 24th
• You don't have as many days left until Xmas as you think (so don't slow down!)
• Other events will pop up to derail your sewing plans; December is a busy month.

Cute, huh?  My analytic brain never stops working...
