Wow, but does my little Crossfire not like the ice and snow. At all. Took me more time to drive to the grocery store than if I'd walked, and I ended up sideways across the streets a couple of times.
Okay, so maybe no driving until things get nice again. I actually don't feel like taking the scooter out in this, either. Funny how such a thin layer of sleet (less than an inch) can make one immobile, but in a city where they don't sand or salt the roads, it might as well be a foot of ice.

I remember when we lived on Orchard Lane, not far from the Gunn house, and there was an ice storm. I thought, oh, fun--we can't drive, so I'll go outside and talk a walk in the sparkling fairyland of ice. Heh. I laughed at all the cars spinning sloooowly and helplessly until they drifted into a curb, and at their drivers' bug-eyed dismay. Then I tried to walk. . . . I, too, slid slowly, helplessly, down the hill until I fetched up against a tree and stopped myself. I ended up skittering home on hands and knees. Gives real meaning to the phrase, "hog on ice."

I don't think they will try to sand anything (thank goodness they don't salt) until after Sunday since we have a possibility of more sleet and snow today, and a winter storm watch all day tomorrow.
Time for some winter studs on my lil' Crossfire.
