HAPPY NEW YEAR Celebrating anyone?

Today Jan 3, a couple of hours West of me ... a pic on that page right now of weather conditions a few miles the other side of Nelson. THAT stetch (and that spot!!!!) I used to drive every day for work, including in worse weather than that (picture snow white outs or dense fog) in first my lemon station wagon (sunbird) then my minivan

Actually, when roads clear and good, no snow or ice or rain, I used to just love that hill and straight stretch of road when no other vehicles behind or in front of me .... a little more pedal to the metal power and wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! most of the rest of the road very twisty and turny, and slow going, especially bad weather.
