Ice, ice, baby

Woke up to the sound of millions of tiny little ice pellets hitting the window.

They began to collect on the roof:

ice on the roof

And then more of the little buggers started to congregate:

more ice

Within ten minutes, the roads looked like this:

yet MORE ice

You can imagine how fun it was to drive in this stuff.

Whee.

I can handle the cold temperatures fine, but I am a big weenie when it comes to the slick stuff.

Just be glad it was already ice when it hit the ground. Freezing rain is the worst.

Oh, how I HATE driving on icy roads. Stay safe!

gross. I think that's the storm that died down before it hit us too badly but definitely unpleasant.

We are supposed to get 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing rain tonight. I think I might not come in to work tomorrow ... that's how much I hate driving in weather like this!

Oh, I hate driving in that stuff, but it's so beautiful to look at! We're supposed to get an inch of it tonight, mixed with sleet and snow. Fun fun fun!

True! It wasn't as bad as it could have been, so I'm grateful for that, at least!

Thanks! I think we're past the worst of it now, thank goodness!

I'm glad it wasn't too bad your way - this kind of weather is no fun!

Oh, no! In that case, I definitely hope you are able to stay home and just enjoy the snow from a window view!

It's the mixed stuff that makes me a little nervous, but I do love to see it snow!

If you have to be out driving in it, stay safe!

Never seen snow, never seen ice like that either - it looks so nice!! I guess I'm on the opposite end of what the desired answer would be! haha. But that stuff looks so cool! (Compared to me sitting here sweating at 1:15am!)
