Oatmeal snow is terrible :( There's nothing for tires to grip, so you just slide around willy-nilly. Winter driving is the pits.

I don't see wool or blend sweaters up here either, at least not in stores in my price range. I should really start haunting Value Village or something, especially in the "nice" neighbourhoods heehee. maybe I will find a nice one I could reknit! That sounds fun :)
