On friday, all the doors on the jeep were frozen shut, but the kids and I managed to break in and head out. But then, when we were leaving the gym that night the lift gate was frozen shut. The boy had squeezed the handle, disengaging the latch, but neither one of us could pry the door open. About half way home I hit a bump and popped it open.

Pico, when I lived in upstate NY our window looked like that throughout most of the winter. The windows in this old house wouldn't survive that I'm afraid...

20 degrees (13 degree wind chill) and here comes a guy on a motorcycle!
He must have wanted to go somewhere, really badly.

I had that happen when the trunk of my old Accord froze shut. I hit a speed bump, it flew open; I groaned an looked for a place to pull over. I went over another speed bump and it magically closed and latched itself. Whee!
