Re: Blizzards and the Cold.

I'm currently sitting inside while my husband is out salting our ski-slope of a driveway (1" thick ice), because I don't have any sensible shoes/boots with any tread. Yesterday I tried a little and duck-walked to the driveway- in my "dress shoes", since they were the only thing that hadn't been worn so much the tread was slick on bottom! Boy, this is frustrating.

Your comment reminds me of a storm in Chicago when I was a kid. My Mom worked downtown and got stranded. She never did make it home to the southside that night. In the morning a friend and I ventured out into the hip-deep snow to look at the three stranded buses and two patrol cars (buried in snow to their cherries on top!) and were disapointed not to find any "copsickles" inside. (I don't know about now, but back then the Chicago police had a VERY bad reputation, and kids are cruel!) I remember folks being so angry that "mother nature would do this to them"..."it just isn't right; there oughta be a law"! Not sure whether that is funny or sad, now. Anyway, hope you're weathering this new storm OK.
