Snowy drive

There was a pretty layer of snow everywhere this morning. The drive home from Life Care last night was quite a challenge. Lots of huge wet snowflakes were coming down, which made it nearly impossible to see the road, and the headlights were covered within a few minutes, with a thick frosting of slush, diffusing the light everywhere except on the road. I meant to leave earlier, with snow in the forecast, and me driving K's car today, but was having too much fun watching Cowboys and Aliens with her, on her new iPad. I was glad to finally be home safe and warm, enjoying a hot mug of tea.

We were using the HBO2GO app to watch the movie. I've heard there are other choices for watching TV (Hulu+ and network sponsored apps) and movies (Netflix), but haven't explored them yet.

This was the first time, in my almost 18 years in Colorado, that the headlights have gotten coated in a half inch thick layer of slush. Go figure. Just one of those freak things. We've had a lot of those, this year... And NOW I finally appreciate, why the Swedish put those little bitty wipers on their headlights. It's not just for comic relief...
