The Ice Death is here!

Published by NiteMayr on January 6, 2010

Last night as I left the office I was greeted with what I have to call an oddity for early January, a light warm mist.  The Air temperature was still in the zub-zero range but there was a mild-thin patter of water walling over the whole place.

This was (of course) prime freezing rain weather.

This morning I  was not surprised to find my car frozen in a thin candy-shell of dappled ice.  It produced some neat images of ice and water.  I think they will have a date with a cropping tool before they get anywhere near useful but at least they show the crust as it was this morning.

Feel bad for anyone homeless in London, okay?  They might have been stuck out in wet, sub-freezing weather overnight last night.  Weather my DOG didn’t want to go out in.

Aww Crap! Look at this

Argh, it has been a Dog’s age since I cracked the Blog Poster and started tapping one out.  This dry spell may continue for some time.  Especially with Snow Death bearing down on us like a bullet from an enormous cloud-laden gun.

I’ve got a cold too.  sniff.

Frozen out of Car again

After work I was frozen out of my car!!!!

I tried calling Ben for a ride to the store for some lock deicer, but he didn’t answer.  Big Steve R gave me his window deicer, but it didn’t work.  Eventually I used a small screwdriver to provide more torque to open the passenger side door (along with a full-size screwdriver to break the damn seal around the door itself).  Once I got in there, the unlock button failed to loosen the driver-side door.  The darn thing was FROZEN SOLID!

Much manual work and grunting got the door open and I drove it home.

I decided that until the air temperature comes up, I will park in my Garage, with my doors unlocked.

Hopefully that will be the end of getting locked out.
