Icy

We had what we call an ice storm. That means that icy, ooblecky, rain-like stuff fell out of the sky and coated everything.


Before they get in their cars, people have to scrape the ice off their windshields and then their tires. Trees fall over and knock down power lines. Streetcars can't use their overhead wires. And everything looks twinkly and shiny and treacherous.

I hear, though, that no one is in the grocery store! Maybe I'll just slip out (ha ha) and get some food. And one last present. It seems better than staying here where there are dirty dishes and laundry. Wish me luck!

    1. I made it! Now we have a dusting of snow on top of the ice. Most delightful, not.
