ICE

The streets and highways around here have been like my background recently. They started school an hour late in Thompson Falls two days in a row, to give the snow plows time to sand the Highway heavily before the buses drove on them. They canceled school in St. Regis in Friday....if I only work in St. Regis I would have gotten a four day weekend...'sigh'.

The ice is gradually melting, but the rain is pouring. I drove through two inches of water across the entire surface of the highway today and was fortunate enough that the rock I hit did not puncture my tire.

I think I prefer just snow in January. All this ice and slush and freezing rain accompanied by more ice and slush is confusing.

Totally confusing.

I thought this post was going to be about Ice, Compression, Elevation. I'm glad to see that you are not injured, but I'm not glad to hear about the crummy weather your experiencing. In the circles I hung out in in NYC we called that weather "shoe ruining" weather. It's terrible and cold and wet and even more cold because it's so wet some of the time and dangerous because of the freezing slush and rain.

P.S.- Are you rocking the weight loss, or what?
