Snow!

Today there was snow when I got up. SNOW! It was only on the ground in some spots, and I guess it wasn't that surprising considering it snowed all day yesterday (although it didn't stick to the ground at all). My front steps were super slippery. I recall this was a problem last year too. I wonder if there is any sort of grippy stuff I can buy to make them less slippery. Probably. If anyone knows what it's called, let me know. Anyway, I guess I can't complain too much - I mean, we could have had snow a month ago. But it is colder than average, so that's a bummer. I have already started wearing my gloves and scarf, although haven't resorted to a toque yet. I did, however, wear this headband ear-covering thingy when I rode my bike the other day. That wind - brrr!!

Addendum:
I hate the treadmill my upstairs neighbours have. They are very nice people and for the most part, I have no troubles with them. We get along quite well, and take care of each other's cats when needed. But a few months ago, they got a treadmill. They put it in their living room, right above my living room. Right now, as I type, the treadmill is running. Or rather, someone is RUNNING on the treadmill.

Now, I understand wanting to get exercise, but there is a time and a place for it. Like a gym!! Not in a place where someone lives directly below you.

As well, I have a thing against treadmills in general - people, go outside for exercise! (Ok, I know I just said it snowed today, but still...they had this sucker in the summertime).
