It's winter in New England, it's snowing, and this is news? I guess it's easy for me to say "deal with it" when I don't HAVE to go anywhere. I do remember my attitude being a bit different when I had to drive in this stuff to and from work every day. Here is the view from my sunroom door. The dark blob in the lower center-left of the picture is a huge rock - with last night's snowfall on top. Meh, 10" or so. I've seen worse.
A huge rock? You live in Mass, we knew what it was
I didn't take any afternoon pics, but I took one this morning looking out the window from work.

I said, What the heck is this fool doing out walking in this? I think he was one of the guys re-tying vines yesterday and they decided to call it quits today.

As a foreigner I always think of California as the sunshine state (lower case - I know it's really the nickname for Florida) so is the song lyric true - "Hate California, it's cold and it's damp"?
That's why it's called black ice, 'cause you can't see it....
I can remember how much I hated winter weather when I had to go to work. My stomach would get so upset. When I had to drive, my hands and legs would be shaking so bad. But I never got stuck, and the only time I had an accident was when I applied the brakes on black ice. Didn't even know it was there. I slid into a pole and the guy behind me slid into me. Smashed both the front and back of the car.
You must be relieved.Something very strange happened in the California desert today. Water fell from the sky! YAY!!
