The first true snowfall of the year is here, and what a disaster it is -- it took me an hour and 45 minutes to get to work this morning, which is approximately 400% longer than normal. Plus I spun about 100 degrees on some ice right near my house (way to go with salting the roads, Somerville), ugh. So here's the perfect link for today: Car Talk's Winter Driving Tips, including everything from turning into a skid to carrying Doritos and Robert Caro's biography of LBJ in the trunk. Brrrrr!
