I have to head out into the teeth of a winter storm tomorrow for a "hot" project. Heavy snow, "wintry mix" and ice. Unless the boys chicken out I'll be there.

You hear from me some time around midnight EST and I'll let you know. If you don't I either didn't get around to it or never well get around to it.

Today I hot footed it home in light snow and a greasy like substance on the road. Car never even got unstable. I blew by a Conga Line of six cars following each other like Baby Elephants and did not loose my step.

Panic under winter conditions is death. Relax and enjoy the ride... you don't want to die tense and you might if you do. It's not easy being lose and relaxed under such conditions, it takes skill and perspective, but it's doable.
