Here in Nova Scotia, we didn't have any snow up until yesterday. I kept telling people I wished it would snow. It didn't feel like December without a little snow. Well someone listened. We got dumped on yesterday and what a nightmare.
I wasn't driving my minivan, but instead had my father-in-law's Saturn. It's a standard, which isn't bad for snow packed conditions. The problem was, so much snow fell, and the car was so low to the ground, I got stuck. That wasn't as bad as when I caught a snow drift on the highway and spun out in the middle of traffic. How I didn't get hit, I'm still not sure.
The good news is I made it home in one piece. The car was fine.
On the writing front, I managed to finish up the edits to chapter one and two of my WIP. I think the pace is much better now and it leaves me room to expand in later chapters. I'm hoping I'll be able to work on chapter three today at lunch.

wow, that's scary!
We had a dusting here yesterday... But enough to make things slippery and cause some accidents. I swear, some people have to learn how to drive again in the winter every year... (or maybe it's that we get so many new Canadians here in Toronto each year that a huge portion of the population ARE actually learning each year...
Glad you're okay, Christine. Sounds like you had a huge amount of snow. Must feel Christmasy!
Oh my goodness. I am glad your ok. I hate driving through snow. The only way I would feel good is if I had a tank.
I wondered who was responsible for wishing for snow...
Guilt as charged Kelly. I do like the snow. But only enough to be pretty. I didn't have it as bad as a lot of people, so I can't complain.
Driving in Toronto for the past three winters was an experience. You're right about people needing to learn how to drive all over again.
Apparently, I need to as well. :)
Christine,
So glad you're okay! I would have totally freaked out and probably done completely the wrong thing in terms of recovering from the spin.
But at least you have your snow...;)
And congrats on your editing progress...I've been editing today too.
