Yes, loads of places finding travel difficult these days,<br /><br />Home now, and very happy to be back by the fireplace.

I think you have so many wise things to say about people and families in that one (but truth be told I love them all.)<br />Stay safe in all that snow - here in Connecticut we have yet to get any this year.Sandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-20398367409661679152010-12-20T13:14:17.938-08:002010-12-20T13:14:17.938-08:00Marjorie, Don't ever worry about Quebec reside...Marjorie, Don't ever worry about Quebec residents during the winter. They drive in the snow almost every day and snow tires are mandatory. As my daughter said, "Mom, if I don't drive on snow covered roads I would never get out." Much better than black ice, heavy fog, and snow where people are not experienced.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237323650360120037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-73651030115584861802010-12-19T17:01:39.662-08:002010-12-19T17:01:39.662-08:00Weather conditions here in So.

It was raining hard, the clouds were so low they were a fog to the ground and all that combined with the water thrown up by all the cars created a situation were there was just no visibility. My usual two hour drive stretched into almost three hours and I was exhausted when I arrived. Driving when you can't really see and you have to hope some idiot doesn't plow into you because he can't see, but is driving too fast, puts one on edge. <br /><br />California freeways just can't handle this amount of water. It has rained for three days straight and they say it will rain at least four more. Start building the ark and gathering the animals, it doesn't look good for this part of the world, folks. <br /><br />--AliceA.

Here in California, ...You have a lovely day indeed. Here in California, we are wet, and out of power at times, hair frizzy-like that matters, and they are predicting rain through Christmas. Whatever it is, the weather is sure more extreme each year. I have get an emergency kit ready for my car. The monastery sounds interesting. I look forward to traveling through that on with you.

(They are only a dollar each.) If you are stranded for a while, you can activate them and put them in your boots and mittens and keep your extremities warm. And a plastic bucket to collect snow to melt for water! <br /><br />But, mainly, don't get stranded, please!<br /><br />--Marjorie from CTMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157505682237167283noreply@blogger.com
