I just slide along the ice, much more fun

Always fun to laugh along with the people stuck in traffic as they watch you try and stay upright.

^5 yep they are awesome

We think the woman opposite has lost her marbles. This morning she was throwing table salt down. Now she has just thrown a bucket of water down her drive to try and clear it.

It's below freezing outside........ can anyone else see a slight problem here?

It isn't so much fun trying to walk when you have poor balance, I can assure you. I went to go out for lunch, got as far as the office gate and went sliding down the path. Damn that idea - my life is far more important than lunch. Lunch abandoned.

30 minutes later it started absolutely chucking it down (with snow) and has been doing for the last hour. Everything covered again in minutes. About half the office made for the exit at that point. My boss said I (and the rest of his team) should go home. I didn't have to be asked twice. I'm now at home and lunch is in the oven.

My concern now is whether my parents will be safe to make the 200+ mile roundtrip to pick me up on Wednesday. Fortunately it's mostly main roads, but they won't be doing it in weather like this. That's for certain.

Heated wing mirrors are also helpful.

Heated washer jets were my trump card, don't have anything else heated

Going to have to get a better car

Dragged the T out this afternoon. Cold weather = BOOOOST

No heated mirrors, no heated washer, even the heated seat is broke

But with a furnace for a heater it all thaws out in no time anyway

Was raining a few minutes ago

OMG it's uber snowing now! 3 inches have settled in 30 mins apparently!!!

Am I going to get home?!

Sounds like it's moving east as you're now experiencing what I did a few hours ago. Hope you get home OK but since you like it much more than I do, you're welcome to it.
