Night view of the State Store from our apartment after today’s snow.Today it has snowed, all day. Not snow flakes as you know them Jim, but very fine dusty type snow. It has been cold enough, probably W.C. 2/3, for the snow not to melt under the wheels of the traffic on Peace Avenue. Unlike in the UK, where armies of men appear as if by magic with machines charging up and down the highways and bye-ways chucking rock salt all over the place, nothing happens. Except that the cars slow down a little bit and the snow gets swirled around in the air turbulence they create. And do you know, hardly anybody bumps into anyone else!!! Amazing. UB drivers are a breed apart. Their spatial awareness and ability to judge distances is truly remarkable. Black ice has no chance, think sheet ice driving without studs.
