The only thing that's frustrating to me about this weather is that I finally have a rear-drive car that I don't have to worry about stalling in a spin (thank you, Papa Fuel-Injection), but its tires are too wide to attain any grip. Frick. It's a challenge just getting over the road's crown they're so wide and slippery. Every start from a stoplight is like trying to get going on a frozen lake or something. Of course, when I do get a little speed up and no one's around, it's crazy fun to toss the wheel and hit the gas just a little: Zoom! Donuts!
But yeah, it's gorgeous in the winter. The sky here tonight is absolutely clear - the kind of icy clear that only happens when the air is too cold to hold any moisture - and the ground is encrusted with a solid layer of frozen sleet and the air is so pure... lovely.
