I do not have snow tires. It is something I have said I would do but then last winter was so mild I became complacent. Technically, we are in a drought and have been for a while. Today made up for some of that.

Two years ago we had a pretty good all day snow and prior to that I had put new all seasons on the wagon. I was surprised at how well it did in the conditions. Some stretches were clear. Others, not so much. But the wagon just kept moving along as I feel it would have today had I not come to a complete stop.

Right now my priority is rescuing the car. It's not on the thorough fare and it's not blocking the side street where I left it but I still worry it may be towed.

What I really kick myself in the butt over is the fact that if I had just waited I probably would have been okay. The snow let up for a while, although it's starting again, and they actually did a fairly decent job of clearing the main roads.
