Last night's weather was wretched. Yes, it is winter in Wisconsin, so you might think we got 12 inches of snow, or it was -10 degrees out there. Those things are completely possible in Madison, and dare I say, preferable to what we really got---freezing rain. Now, every flat surface in town is coated with a thin layer of invisible ice.
We ventured out to a friend's house for a juice party. I was careful to walk very gingerly out to the car, but I guess that wisdom left me when I got out of the car downtown. Ten steps later, the bag of treats, the six pack of beer and I were strewn across the sidewalk in all different directions. A modern day miracle that none of us broke! The hummus spilled out of the Pyrex bowl, the a few beers rolled out of the carrier and I felt a little confused as to why I was looking up at the sky all of a sudden. A few laughs later, I was back on my feet and marching on to the promise of juice.
Icy sidewalks (roads, driveways, porches, etc) stink, so, I am going to go ahead and say it....we need more snow.

eric and i are learning about the ice too. we carefully walked to our car this morning and drove to church, yet somehow in driving to church, my sweet husband forgot how to slow down in an icy parking lot, so as we glided into our spot, we ran straight into the wall...oops. no major damage (thanks to the layer of built up snow at the base of the wall.) I totally busted after we got home too. he parked too close to the side and in my dress shoes climbing over snow & ice, i made it to the end of the car, and in what felt like slow motion, my feet slipped from under me. i must agree with you. more snow would be nice...
Have fun enjoying the ice this week. We'll be in California where the forecast is Sunny 65ยบ.
:P
