I was rather blase about our wintry mix until I was driving back from an errand at about 7 last night and slid the last half mile. This morning, I find there were 900+ metro accidents and people were stuck in traffic for hours.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Huh, we were dry here last night - and now it's warmer. Durham has got sleet, though.

We didn't get a lot of wet stuff, fortunately, since it was essentially an ice storm. A mix of rain and sleet turned into a thin glaze of ice on the roads, leading to the bumper-car effect.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That we do. And snow and freezing rain too. Somehow, "I'm dreaming of a wintry mix Thursday" doesn't have quite the same ring to it..

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No precipitation in Boston! And nothing more than flurries in the forecast.

Halifax is the same as Boston. We're still above freezing!!!

Cass, I only go out of my way to offend people sometimes, but I have to admit, that e-mail would irritate me. But I have no particular *drive* to use Jesus' name either. If someone told me that, I would stop. But when I say "damn it," about something, I don't really think about it as sending the object to Hell(which I don't really believe in either) although, technically, I suppose that's what it means.

We are below freezing, at least.
In trying to get the last bit out of my lotion, of course I got too much out. Oops. Moisturizing!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
13 degrees here. No snow right now.

We're supposed to get 1-3 inches today, between rush hours.
