Dupont:

I checked the weather reports so carefully>>>> "snow flurries" did not seem too bad. Wet roads at minus4C did; so I slowly made my way south, thinking it would get better. It usually does... It got worse and the worst shock was getting on the 401 and finding it going about 35kmh in thick slush, everyone keeping VERY safe distances apart. I got off at the earliest opp and found the secondary road clear and safe and traffic free!

Now, the westbound traffic had been moving right along so I thought - not very clearly! - that maybe there was an accident. Got back on after a number of miles and it was just fine...for a while. Then it was back to horrible and I was wondering how long... And where might I spend the night... Then the road and traffic cleared and was fine the rest of the way. The 5 hour trip took 6 and a half hours. Today I am still recovering.

Walked into a cold house. Put a fire in the wood stove and used the oven to bake some good food, mainly to add heat! Went to bed cold, with my clothes on. Sent R a text Thurs am: if the heat is not working by Sunday night I am phoning a repair company. Same for sink in bathroom.

Dan came in a few hours and heat is partly working; he needs to come back to complete job. Sink is almost done! I am wondering what the next threat will be! Will it work for the kitchen sink??

Need to find a road conditions site! Going back to bed shortly. Hoe tomorrow I will be back to normal (for me!).
