Ice!

Ice is all over the news today. Skating down the front stoop isn’t as fun as it sounds. Neither is sliding down the driveway to grab the trash can, only to find that there is no way in hell you are going to be able to get it back up to the top of the driveway…

The forecasters said it, and here it is. Icy conditions. Wintry mix. And there is more to come. Fun. Today, I learned that I have “anti-lock” brakes. Initially, I thought my brakes went out, as they were making a crunching noise and there was some sort of flashing message on my dashboard. As I was sledding down the road between parked cars. No need to panic.

Oh yeah, and I need to remember to add “spiked shoes” to my next shopping list.
