We've had quite an interesting day here in Indianapolis. A freezing rain/sleet mixture overnight left us with a magnificent coating of ice on all outdoor surfaces, be they roads, cars, power lines, feral cats...you name it.

It's not particularly cold by local standards, but it was not life affirming to spend twenty minutes this morning trying to open my car door by simultaneously pulling on the handle while trying to break the door free by whacking it with my knee. Once inside, the engine started easily enough (Praise Ford, lol) but there was stil the matter of outward visibility, which meant removing all that ice from the windows. No amount of scraping was going to accomplish this task, this called for a firmer touch. Big tonka-truck yellow combo scraper-brush in hand I set about re-creating the role of Thor in one of those goofy-ass Wagner operas, wielding my hammer against the death-grip of the ice. Ponk! I could hear it echoing off my neighbors houses. Ponk! Am I hitting it too hard, could I actually break the glass? Ponk! Damn, this seems futile. Ponk! Okay, there's a little crack. Ponk! The defroster ought to start melting some of this at some point...

And so it went, but I eventually made my way into work....

Coming home, the roads were terrible, I can't understand how an inch or so of freezing rain turned into six inches of slush on the roads. Even more baffling is why certain people feel the need to use the lane which hasn't been cleared to drive right next to me rather than going single file. Not pass me, mind you, if they got a big 4 x 4 and balls to match, I say let them, but these idiots just seem to want to come alongside me and just stay there.

So that's how the weather is here love, any more questions?

My recommendation is to throw 5 gallons of boiling hot water on the windshield all it once. That'll do a number on it, and you won't need air conditioning in the summer. May I recommend a good brand of goggles? Although you might not need goggles if it is shatterproof glass, and all the pretty lines running through it will turn it into an artwork par excellance.
