It's supposed to snow, possibly, by the end of the week here. That means everyone's going to lose their damn minds and buy up every bit of milk and bread in the grocery stores. Weather here is weird. I spent most of the Christmas holidays in shorts and t-shirts.

The wife and kid were home Friday. The governor declared a state of emergency, so all the roads were closed. We didn't get much real snow. Just a lot of ice and sleat. The roads were pretty undrivable, though.

we had freezing rain a couple of weeks ago. the temp plunged, and my old ford wagon kept re-freezing over, even the windows on the inside! the defroster on the thing is pretty crummy. i pulled into a church parking lot to clean the windows and it started spinning around and nearly ran me into the yard! damn ford. front wheel drive doesn't help much on ice

 That's an ice tree. Apparently they made this using hoses in freezing temperature conditions. It's something they do every year. Pretty cool. |

Something like that sort of happened to my parents this morning One of their sprinkler heads came off, so they woke up to find the trees in their front yard covered in giant icicles, like something out of a winter wonderland.

I got about three inches here tonight. We expect more overnight.
Should be fun driving to work tomorrow.

Our entire state would be shut down and people would be hoarding bread and milk like Golum with his ring.
