Stephen King should write a horror story with that name.
I know this is extremely small compared to tons of snow but I hate ICE. It should not be a large amount though.

1. but even a thin bit of ice....

can make driving very dangerous..please be careful!!!!!

[Are_grits_groceries]

2. I am not even going to look at it.

Even that will make me lose my balance.

3. No mix here . . . too cold. 15 below at my house.

I might mail myself to Hawaii this morning.

[chillfactor]

4. same here...

New Mexico in a deep freeze...we have a mixture of snow, rain, and ice across the state...how I wish i was in Hawaii right now...11 degrees..very unusual for this time of year......

14. It got worse for us since I posted. The power went out!

Scary stuff at this temperature, but we're fortunate and have a generator so we're staying warm. I just checked the outage map and in the entire state it's only our little part of an already little town that is without power. I'd sure hate to be a lineperson today. Unless it was a lineperson on Maui.

5. I had a very hazardous drive home last night

The road was fine, but my windshield iced up and there wasn't a safe place to stop and clean it off.

with defrosters?

[Ex Lurker]

8. The defroster wasn't making progress nt

10. we got iced really bad on Monday night last

and lost power for a couple of days but this morning we wake up to a light snowfall... maybe 1/2 inch. more to come but not enough to be much of a worry with the warm-up coming this afternoon.

11. I hate to do this but

I'm looking at the gorgeous green mountains with a background of cloudless blue sky as the sun rises. A gentle breeze surrounds me on this lovely cool morning in South-East Jamaica.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

12. but... but... you didn't hate that AT ALL

it is almost like you were rubbing it in...

[malaise]

13. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Grits is my friend but I was walking across a path a while ago and it really is a gorgeous morning in Kingston.

[Are_grits_groceries]

15. Enjoy it.

I'm worried about the coming hurricane season. We're gonna really get smacked soon.

[malaise]

16. I was thinking about that last night

We've been lucky for a few years and one of these days our luck will run out.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

17. enjoy the morning... my favorite time of day

we inlanders will just have to deal with our snow...

[malaise]

18. Yes mornings are lovely

I love the smell of blossoms and newly cut grass - dew shining as the sun rises.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

20. now THAT makes me jealous...

new mown hay/grass is probably my favorite smell.

19. It's 1 degree outside and we've got 36+ inches in the last 6 weeks here in central CT

I think some of us would be grateful if it warmed up enough for us to get "wintery mix"
