The year I had to re-learn to walk and cycle

Well it has been a horrible winter so far. It started as i was sitting in my office and started snowing. I was like nice. This is so beautiful. I left office, and the whole road outside my office was grid locked. Also found out the next day that most of the highways were also grid locked. Woke up the next morning to see everything white. It looked beautiful to the say the least. I was happy.

But the snow did not melt for a week, and it had slowly turned to a ice. And every time it melted a fresh layer of snow followed and the cycle continued. With a layer of ice on the road and side walk, cycling and walking became a huge challenge. Every step I took I had to be extra careful, and the back wheel of the cycle was going anywhere but straight. It just got worse when turning. So I had to relearn both the arts (is it right to call it an art?) and I must say it was fun.

The winter seems to be coming to an end. I have had enough of the snow. The last 3 months have been difficult to say the least.

Looking fwd to spring and summer 2010. But i do rialise that the next winter is just 9 months away :(.
