What a Sloppy Mess

We had ice this morning, and then freezing rain. Now it's 42° and the streets are standing full of water. It can't drain away because the sides of the roads are lined with small icebergs and huge clumps of melting snow.

Intersections are flooded, creeks are rising ... and now the high winds are moving in, with expected gusts here in town up to 50 mph, and 80 mph on the hillside. What a mess!

Time to break out the kayaks... :-)

WSF, we do. It's entirely his fault. :)

Me too, Preppy. It's a classic.

NFO, not a bad idea.

Hope your hip waders don't leak....

Me too, Stephen. That would be bad. :)
