O What a Night

Today, I spent a few hours at the library because we switched Internet providers this weekend and so were without Internet for a few hours. However, I had schoolwork to turn in and stuff to do on the SWG site, so I went and used Carroll County's wi-fi that my tax dollars pay for. When I emerged from the library some three hours later, it was snowing and the cars and pavements were lightly covered.

It was one of those strange snowfalls where it is snowing and sunny at the same time, so the snow on the main roads was melting pretty quickly, so it was a simple matter of using a little extra caution in case there were slick patches but, otherwise, an uneventful drive home. When I got home, Bobby was still tinkering with the Internet, so I did some reading in the living room. It kept snowing ... and snowing. When Bobby got the Internet running, the first thing he did was check the forecast. "Less than an inch," it said. (2.5 cm for you sensible, metric-using folks.) We had plans to drive to Hunt Valley (about a half-hour away) to get dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger and go to a specialty grocery store to stock up on organic/vegetarian food, and since the forecast was unimpressive and my experiences driving home from the library had underscored the fact that the snowfall was really uneventful, then we set out around 6:30.
