A big snowstorm without a vehicle 🚗

|

I get so annoyed when I am riding the bus to work after a big snow storm and traffic is severely delayed by cars parked and abandoned in the middle of the street due to the enormous snow banks curbside along Delaware Avenue.

But it’s kind of nice after this snow storm to know I won’t have to dig out my truck or do any shoveling, as the landlord will plow the driveway and CDTA will plow out the bus stop. I don’t have to think about icy roads or the cold, I can just stumble out to the bus stop on Tuesday, keeping an eye on the real-time bus info, and just get to work with no real issues, except maybe where the bus lets you on or off in snow.

Popular field-camping area in Southern Vermont. Also, several dispersed campsites are nearby.

Rode to Wally World for supplies. 🚲

4½ miles each way, five degrees. Snowing fairly hard by the time I got home. With the cold and because I had no reason to go to Walmart, I was going to go to Price Chopper in Slingerlands but my electric toothbrush stopped working and I wanted to get are replacement as I think it does a better job then a manual toothbrush.

Truth is Market32 aka Price Chopper in Slingerlands really annoys me, both the store itself and the rich people who shop there. It has a nice produce section but I really don’t need 394 different brands of Organic Woke Brand Choco Puffs with Added Protein for $15.99. One thing I like is how they have oatmeal packaged in a lightweight plastic bag rather then the big cardboard tube it comes in at Walmart. Easier to carry and less trash, which I’m so careful about these days without having a truck or regular fires.

My fingers were so numb when I got there but the way back didn’t seem that cold. I could barely move my fingers when I got to Walmart until they warmed up. And they hurt for a while. The roads were fine both ways, though on the way home they were starting to get a bit greasy and snow covered. Took Bender Lane to Walmart, and while you’re not supposed to make a left turn there with a car, I did sneak around the median with my bike. I do like the one stop shopping and low prices of Walmart, but I do always end up spending more then I should there because of the psychological tricks they use there. Price Chopper just seem really over priced so I normally are loathe to buy that “one extra” thing, you know how that goes.

Going shopping wasn’t essential today, but I mostly wanted carrots to use in my pancakes and other meals, like bread, soups,
