It’s still cold
December 16, 2008
Today I walked to the DMV to renew my license. It’s about two miles from my house; the walk is mostly along the Willamette river.
Icicles on the carport. Tomorrow it's supposed to warm up to above freezing, rain and snow some, and then get really cold again. Last night it got down to 11 degrees.
My snow boots have pretty good traction.
This is my street--you can see how icy the roads are. Quite a few people are out there trying to drive, and it's a bit nuts.
The bike path along the river was actually plowed, but I only saw three people on bikes, and three other pedestrians the whole time I was out.
I walked there in the late afternoon. Yesterday's snow hasn't melted at all, the river is pretty with snow covered banks.
I saw the sun set over the water...
...and I walked home in the late dusk. Pretty, no?
