Ice Road

The snow we received at Christmas has stayed on the ground. 

We are moving into the the third week of January and not much of it has melted.

The temps plunged below zero at night and the single digits and low teens for two weeks.

This past week we had several days where the temps climbed into the low 30's.

A brief storm system moved through late on Wednesday and dumped a couple more inches of snow on us.

The temps have once again plunged us back into the "deep freeze."

It's a bitter cold! 

I am NOT a fan of driving on icy roads! 

Each morning I put on my brave face and get behind the wheel.

And tense up and cringe all the way to work! 

Black ice formed on our county road and the two-lane hwy this past Thursday and Friday as a result of the brief snow we received on Wednesday. 

Black ice is a friend to nobody! 

There were spin outs and accidents on my way to work on Thursday morning!

I'm kinda over winter already!

My drive to work has pretty much looked like this for several weeks now!

This is the "straight away" section on our county road.

 Then you round a few corners and start the climb up the "hill."

 You head up the road into the little canyon area before the "big" hill.

 You climbed up the hill, slowly...

 And hit the top and start the gradual decent to the hwy at the end of the road.

The view at the top can be pretty at times.

The morning I took these photos, there was a light fog hanging in the air.

As a side note,

I have tired to compose a post for over a week now, but I could not get my photos to upload.

I tried using two different computers and finally hit the jackpot with the third.

Not sure if the issue is on Bloggers end or mine.
