Had some interesting views of birds visiting today on Jay Miller.

We had a bit of an adventure this evening in this first snow. Carole slid sideways down the first hill coming down Whispering Lane earlier this evening before coming to a perpendicular stop across the road. Other cars did the same but thankfully did not hit her. I came to the rescue and inched the car safely over to Oakwood but facing the wrong direction next to a curb. Will have to retrieve the car once the streets are safe to drive on. 

Cars coming down Jay Miller were sliding all over, too. We met a new neighbor from Tallwood who had to leave her car in front of our house because of icy conditions.

Nevertheless, the first snow was pretty looking out our door once safely home. 

Drive in your low gears and avoid quick changes if you need to be out there early, and you should stay safe.
