Well get out there and take yer punishment then. The kids will get ya.
Southern Cal was cold this morning. The sprinklers for my lawn left their normal flow on the driveway, but this time it froze (but still looking like water). Slipped and fell hard on my back this morning.....think I have a bit of whiplash as my neck kills....but on a good note, kept any coffee from spilling 
Lots of freezing rain for us this morning, I knew it was gonna be bad when I heard that chains or studded tires are required to drive in the metro area.
Interesting that none of the forecasts I'd seen had called for anything close to the amount of snow and ice we got today 
The good news is that I don't have to get up at 2:30 tomorrow morning to drive around Portland for work, I can sleep in till 6 a.m. Time to crack a

Yeah, rain forecast for today. I called my boss to tell him i was coming over to his place, he asked "How are you going to get here"?
I had no idea what he actually meant by that question, until i went outside. Took a moment for the snow-covered streets to sink in....

I know. ;)
Portland still shut down today. This city just doesn't do snow. In New York (state), the roads would have been cleared before everybody got up to go to work. Here, they just wait for the snow to melt. 
Had to run a gauntlet of snowball fights between the kids (i.e., those between 21 and "middle age") on my way home from the cafe last night. At least the kids know what to do with snow. 
nothing but freezing rain and sleet here....old man winter,jack frost is mad as hell and he isn't going to take it anymore...

Yep, Three days off was verrrrry nice-ah. I had to go back to work today, but my husband had today off, the slacker.....

Bet you never heard that one before
Some windows in our place have blown in. And are scaring the admin team.
