Snow can't stop the last drive of the year

Earlier this week, we got hit with about 5 inches of snow. Much of it melted right away, but the temperature in the last few days has been pretty low so the snow has been hanging around the yard even though most of the roads are clear. Even though it was very cold, the skies were clear today and the sun was shining so TK and I decided to take one last drive of the year. As you can imagine, I was a little tentative as I pulled the 308 out of the garage onto the crunchy snow in our driveway.



Once we got out on to the main road, everything was fine. Some of the shaded side roads were still a little dicey as there were still clumps of compact snow and ice here and there. TK had to remind me to "cool my jets" along some of the shaded twisty roads. We ran a few errands, then headed East to Duvall for lunch.



On our way back, we stopped off at a friend's barn to catch part of her riding lesson. She made a comment about how they knew we were coming because they heard a rumble coming up the drive. Hmmm...maybe that Stebro exhaust is just a little too loud?



Happy new year!
