Pretty though this winter is - NOT fun when flights get delayed, plans go awry and you're far from home. I finally land in the airport and find my way on the bus to the parking lot where my car is parked. To find that it is covered with the white stuff. Luckily it is still soft (and quite beautiful). So I have to find my cleaner and remove it from all the windows, etc. To do this, I have to remove my glove to hold the damn thing. A few minutes is all it takes, but by now my fingers have frozen completely, and pain takes over. I jump into the car, feet are wet and cold. Car is freezing. With great difficulty I manage to pay the parking attendant. Unbelievably, my window doesn't roll up. Looks like some issue because of the cold. I am desperate. There is no way I can drive back 30 miles in the snow with an open window. I pull and shove and bang and knock, and finally the thing manages to roll up and close. Thank the Lord! I finally get out of there and on the road back home. My fingers are seriously hurting now and I worry about frost bite. And lo and behold, I am greeted by horrendous traffic - commuters delayed by the weather. After a couple of hours I finally made it home, thankful for its warmth and to see my family. What a day!
Its OK though. It teaches you to be patient. :-)
