Title: Headed For Burlington Today - Ho! Ho! Ho!
Post by: Henry on December 23, 2009, 08:58:26 AM
Well, I haven't been outside yet, but "Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas."  Those little light flurries appear to be adding up just a bit more than the weatherman said they would.  I have to go in to Costco & down on Dorset Street to pick up a few things.  Can't believe how fast the cars are going down this road.  I have got 13.5 degrees up here, so the snow must be relatively light & fluffy.

When I went down to Mass last night it was snowing then and has continued all night long.  I believe it is supposed to continue until tomorrow morning, then stop and be nice weather for our Christmas travellers right through Christmas Day.

As luck would have it, my sister Theresa's car had the red battery light come on last night just as she drove in to go to the 7 p.m. Mass.  Have no idea what the cause is, although I did open the hood and thought I would look and see if the generator belt was broken.  Looked under that hood and can't believe all the stuff they have packed under the hood of that little PT Cruiser.  I couldn't even find the generator.  I convinced her to call Paquin's and have them bring it out on their flatbed, so she plans to do that this morning.  Hopefully they will be able to fix it right away and it isn't anything major.  I'm a firm believer that if you don't know what's wrong, best to let the experts take care of it.

Hope everybody is in the Christmas Spirit down in Burlington.

Drive carefully!  The interstate was slick and icy although it looked "clean".  I guess there were a couple of accidents after I went thru.  And there is less snow down here in Burlington than at home in Fairfax. 

Have fun shopping!  I would rather do that than be at work today...

So Great to see your comments again Dick - Do give my best to Jeff and his family - I'm about to head for Burlington in a bit and will probably be slowing the traffic down a bit much to the dismay of the other drivers on the road.
