Icy Mess

The rain finally turned to snow yesterday:

After a few inches fell throughout the morning the snow turned to rain again, and then everything froze overnight. The result is a God-awful icy mess this morning. The skies are clear this morning; once the sun gets up over the mountains the temperature will warm up and all we'll have to worry about are very wet roads, but for now everything is reduced to a crawl and a lot of intersections will be decorated with collisions between Ford Excursions (why, oh why do people think that 4-wheel drive helps you stop on ice?). This is the kind of morning that makes me happy that I walk to work.

Anyway, it's better than a flood.
