Quite. Finally something in the 'current events' section that has a direct impact on our lives, and is both relevant and observable.

It's raining here.

Yeah. It hurts their feelings. They get jealous of the other cars.

I finally got around to extracting the snow pics from my camera ...



If you have trouble finding your car in the snow, leaving the lights on may help ...




It seemed like it wasn't going to stop





But it eventually did and there are signs that spring is just around the corner. Somewhere. Maybe lurking in a dark alley or something ...





and sometimes you don't know what you're taking a picture of until you get it out of the camera.

I'll let people speculate for a while before I give the answer.

If it's really making you crazy, PM me.

Geez FD, I hope you didn't get 'brain freeze' from eating it too fast.

We had 60 degree F temps too ... unfortunately they were immediately follwed by the 20s with extremely high winds. Oh. But I must sing the praises of the Amazing Ice Cleat Rubbers (not their real name) that I bought from QVC because the on air demo looked really, really good.

They work as well as they showed on TV. Better even, since I had a more complex task than dancing on a block of ice set at a slight incline.

The rain that fell Monday Night froze into a gigantic ice sheet on the sidewalks and parking lot on Tuesday morning and did not melt for Tuesday afternoon when I had to go to work.

The cleats dig well into the thick ice, but also provide good traction on the thin, infamous "black ice" that strikes fear into the hearts of ambulatory people everywhere.
