Well, my theoretical plan was to go to Hacking Society tonight. I just canceled that plan.

The snow just started to fall ferociously about a half hour ago. By the time I made it out the door to look around, it looked dubious, but I decided to try to weather it anyway.

When I started up Tobias, the windshield wipers easily cleared the thin layer of wet heavy snow that had accumulated, and I began my journey. As I started out down the back road next to the apartment complex, there was no traffic, so I decided to test the roads a little.

I slammed on the breaks a couple times, and tried making a couple of jerky turns. I was prepared for a little bit of slippery behavior, but it surprised even me when Tobias darted out of control, into a low speed 15mph spin across the lanes.

I regained control of the vehicle, made a prompt U-turn at the first available opportunity, and returned to the parking lot. Tonight is not a night to drive to Boulder, especially since it's not absolutely necessary.

There will be more Hacking Society sessions to attend another week.
