I ran through a puddle lastnight that was so deep my truck shut off & I got a check engine light!

(it's back to normal this AM, I figure it must have just covered the air filter & starved the engine for 02)

that and the ballancing act of getting my trash can to the side walk this morning... crazy times! my culdisac is a mini lake.

It rained a couple days here in Bethel, now it froze back up and snowed all night. I thought for sure school would be canceled here as well. Now it's 15 above and just a little slippery.

They are saying its suppose to freeze up again tonight and stay cold... So that's not going to help with the ice...
We stayed in Saturday & Sunday to avoid the worse of it... Plus we were feeling lazy.
Warm ups like this is why I'm fanatical about keeping the snow shoveled off my driveway and not letting it build up to turn into ice in a warm up.

Sorry Stiff, that was me, I figured the only safe way to drive the streets was to use a Zamboni. Kept sliding all over the place in anything else. Want to borrow it?

It's not fun. I just got back from Costco with 2 50 bags of ice melt. I've spread them all over the whole driveway. My daughter said I was being lazy and enviromentally insensitive. I said, "So be it." Me sliding all the down the driveway made he think of that Broadway musical "Hogs on Ice".
