Winter is here!

Unfortunately winter appears to be here. Yesterday I came into work early, It was cold but dry. I got here about 7:05. At 8AM I was still the only one in for our area. I have three others that share our office. I wondered if they were all sick. About 10 after 8 my boss walked in and said that the roads were terrible. Freezing rain had apparently started since I had gotten to work. A few about 5 - 10 minutes spanned between the next two guys coming in. They both had road stories. I left for lunch about 10 minutes beforee noon yesterday. Pulling out of the parking lot, my Expedition decided to break loose and fishtail it self around. After regaining control, I put the truck in AWD, it had been there before, but never for a serious reason. Leaving work last night was fairly clear as it had warmed up quite nicely. Last night however, the wind was fierce, I could hear it howling through the trees. This morning when I got up and looked out the window, there was a light dusting of snow on the ground. It was the first visable snow that we have had all year. The first day of winter.
