And the gound was in a blanket of white.

Yes, as i woke from my slumber to find the ground covered with snow and both Ad and Colburn warning me of the dangers of driving in the snow and ice. HA, I made it to work in one piece. I got to try on my new snow booties..thanks Ad (a most helpful Christmas present). So it looks like Ad, Colburn and I will be hitting the slopes tonight for some night riding and my first lesson. At this point, I don't know what to think. I'll just have to tough it out and report back on how many times I ate the ground. Wish me luck.
