Ice predicted Friday and Saturday!!!
Which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't *have* to be at work both days....
And, for this, I put up with 100f degree weather all of August?
*sigh*

5. I lived there for quite a while...
the one thing that made me giggle when it sleeted was the many fools who thought they could get away with driving 70+mph on the highways simply because they had an SUV. :P

9. Having been trapped in a smoke-filled family truckster as a child for about 4 hours ...
...creeeping down the 45 towards Houston in an ice storm, I feel for what is ahead for you.

13. Ice Is The Worst
I'm hoping no one gets that

We had a terrible ice storm in 2000, really tore things up all over the area

For some reason you are south of us, but you get more of that icy stuff than we do, I guess there just isn't anything between you and the Rocky mountains except Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, and the plains of eastern Colorado. Cold air just flows to you

15. I Understand Completely
Hot as hell

or cold as ice

rarely just pleasant weather.

although 75 sounds good

Well, we hang on together sort of- you aren't that far away so my weather isn't going to be very good either. Haven't been paying attention to the weather today.

Temps Wednesday in the 60°s then down in the 20°s Thursday.

I was wearing shorts & sandals yesterday, Tuesday, when it was almost 80°.
