Winter's Grip!

Well the grip of winter has a hold of us. Frigid temps and snow has been a regular visitor and at times high winds and seas.

Sugar Snow!

 Snow as I head to work seems like a pattern lately. Driving along route 128 isn't fun when the snow is flying  along with foolish drivers. There's some unwritten rule to many owners of 4x4's to drive fast when roads are slick. The funny thing though it's those drivers I see spinning out! Anyway  the recent snow stuck to everything creating a sugar coated effect.
