OK, I got one up on the DC Denizens

DC got a bit of an ice storm last night.  I use the term loosely because it has very few of the hallmarks of a real Bible Belt Ice monster.

• Trees bent to half their normal height
• Cars moving themselves out of parking spaces and driveways
• Broken power lines
• At least one city/county salt truck/plow stuck on the interstate.

If you want to find out about a doozy, look up January 27, 2002 Central Plains Ice Storm.

This critter dropped 3 inches of ICE on Kansas City.  FEMA took over Arrowhead Stadium parking lot to use as a collection center for branches and burn pit, and ended up buying KC a new parking lot.  I was without power for almost 5 days and without water (ironically) for 7.

So, if you are not teleworking today, take gentle steps, and drive slow, but do not whine.  I lived through "Ice-pocalypse", and you will not win.
