Ice, Ice Baby

Well, it didn't snow last night after all...

 Instead, we got an inch or so of ice and freezing rain.

All in all, I'd rather have the snow. It would have made the kids sad, though, because 2" of snow wouldn't have gotten them out of school the way an inch of ice did.

Bobbi's "rain rope" looks cool when it gets iced up. But you know what doesn't look cool when it gets iced up? I mean, other than the streets?

I went out and de-iced her car. Fortunately, I'd remembered to run out and put the wiper arms up on it last night. Also fortunately, I'd remembered to liberally salt the sidewalk between the house and the garage before going to bed last night.
