Snow!

Snow...and I don't have to drive in it! We are getting a snowstorm today in Toronto. They are predicting 5cm (2 inches) which is just enough to make the morning commute pretty messy.
The snow is also the reason I came home yesterday, instead of today. I drove the car to Syracuse on Wednesday afternoon with plans to return on Friday. As I drove through Buffalo I heard that a winter storm watch was announced for Friday morning, so I considered the early return. That planning process is something new. When one has a car available, trips are more spontaneous. Now without a car, I had to spend more time planning my return to Toronto. I chose to take a bus scheduled 20 hours earlier in order to beat the snow. And I made it home just in time!
So I have a second reason to see the positives of life without a car. No worries about a snow-caused accident.
