Exit from the mountain

Wed., Feb. 8 -- we made it down!
After a friend made a call to city hall for us, the plow came and scraped our road and then the salt truck came and treated the ice on the hill, and we finally made it down the mountain about 11am today.

We headed straight to the gommista for snow tires and chains and then to the mall for boots, coat, shovel and supplies. Whew! We both feel a lot better now that we are equipped. Even the trip back up the mountain we could tell a huge difference with the new tires on.

We had our little audi packed to the brim, between the four regular tires in the back, plus our suitcases because we were prepared to stay in the city if necessary, plus about 5 sacks of groceries. Amazing what you can cram into a small car when you get creative!
