Into the Snow We Go

I have today and tomorrow off, and we determined that there were things we'd forgotten in Reno during our main shopping trip, so we planned to get going early enough to get to the Atlantis to be able to use my 2-for-1 weekdays breakfast ability on my affinity card. Originally we expected this would be the first opportunity to stretch the minivan after having repaired the radiator line, and maybe even get the oil and radiator fluids changed; however, the storm having arrived (we got a little snow while unloading the wood yesterday, and Reno was forecast to get up to 7 cm of snow), we changed plans and Lisa drove us in the Big Orange Van.

Because of the snowy conditions, we reduced the number of errands we were going to do, but we managed to get the last of the Christmas meal food purchased (despite Whole Foods Market being out of the simple breadcrumbs Lisa used at Thanksgiving, and a WFM staffer claiming that they have never carried such an item) and headed back home around 2 PM.

We got home, unloaded the groceries, and I got the fire restarted and soon had the house warm again. Lisa took a nap, having had little rest the night before. As usual, Fernley got only a light snow, with less than 2 cm accumulation. I swept the walks and spread de-icer on the sidewalk in spots where it's prone to icing, and took the rest of the day off.
