    Woke up this morning to a slight rain/freezing rain. Luckily i made it to work before the chaos started. Within minutes everything turned to black ice and there were accidents everywhere. A firetruck took a couple nasty spins on a local highway and smashed into a few other vehicles. I couldn't lay enough salt down on the lots to keep up with the rain. I've never seen it ice over and build up that quickly. Thank God my wife has a good head on her shoulders and took her time getting to work, avoiding other speeding maniacs.

    Hope it warms up enough to melt quick.
    Lots of power outages if it keeps building up.

    It's raining here we can hear the roof avalanches all around town. Kinda freaky 18" of snow dumping all at once on someone's front porch.
