Fallon Field, a local baseball diamond, was flooded every year with about a foot or so of water in a Boston area suburb and I too remember shoveling the snow off ... I also learned what rubber ice is ... the hard way
Landed on your fanny a few times, eh?
Yes, rubber ice. I forgot about that.

Many, many years ago I was just learning to drive. It was during the winter. Since I only had a learner’s permit, my dad would go with me.
We’re coming back from one practice drive, and it was snowing. My dad tells me to slow down when turning onto our driveway. There might be some ice on it. But what does he know? After all, I’ve been driving for almost two weeks now.
So I turned into our driveway with my usual gusto. The car hit a patch of ice and slid right into our garage door, splitting it in two.
I guess my dad was right after all.
We used to go drinking there after work back in the 80’s..
