Winter wonderland

Last night wheeling Karen to WI and back, the going was very slippery underfoot and everything was sparkling in the street lights.

This morning, I not only waited until well after sun-up to go to work, but decided to take main roads into work; but that still meant a mile or so on minor roads to get there.

And almost as soon as I got out of the village, traffic started piling up. The reason -- two recovery trucks pulling cars out of a ditch, the only length of ditch without hedges along the whole road.

Very slow journey.
