Sparta's fury

The plan had been that we would bring our granddaughter back home today, but the impending arrival of Winter Storm Sparta, which was forecast to be a real mess of heavy snow, then sleet, then maybe some ice, then snow again caused a change of plans. This turned out to be a good decision, but if prudence dictated that we didn't make a long drive, it didn't prevent Stasia and me from hitting the sledding slope, even as the snow started coming down harder and harder. Prudence probably should have kept us indoors entirely, and it certainly kept the local kids off the playground equipment in the town rec area. However nervous I was becoming about the prospect of the short drive home, the tobogganing conditions were too good to pass up. Once again, Stasia's battle cry of "Again" rang over the slopes. It was quickly muffled by the snowfall, but I heard it loud and clear. My trusty weatherproof Fuji was more than up to the task of chronicling our imprudent adventure.
