We got a little over an inch last night where I live, and close to 4 a few miles south of here.
I doubt there will be any more this year...but ya just never know!
You know, I can't say that we did.
We'll have to look for 'em next time we go!
Remind me in 2008, when we go back...!
Hay, Sand...are there any roads in this area that are treated?
I guess if that happens you'll have to leave earlier and drive slower.
Dangerous stuff.
AIYEEEE!!!!
Black ice!
Once in the ditch is enough for me!

Great book on Color in War
THE WAR MAGICIAN: How Jasper Maskelyne and his magic gang altered the course of WWII. Photos, 315 pages. Jasper Maskelyne, was born in 1902 in England, a music hall conjurer, never fired a shot in battle, but his amazing feats played a key role in the Allied victory in Africa. Among his many triumphs, Maskelyne "hid" the Suez Canal and conjured up illusions of armies and battleships, fooling German forces led by General Erwin Rommel into retreat. The grandson of John Nevil Maskelyne, one of the founding fathers of British magic, Maskelyne was a celebrated stage magician before the war. Convinced he could use his skills to help the army, Maskelyne wooed sceptical officials by creating the illusion of a German warship floating down the Thames using mirrors and a model. He was placed in charge of the Royal Engineers Camouflage Corps and sent to Egypt where he performed some genuine mission impossibles. Asked to prevent the Germans from bombing Alexandria Harbour, the conjurer redirected the bombers by recreating the harbour's exact lighting pattern three miles away. He "vanished" the Suez Canal by building a series of spinning strobe lights to put pilots off their bearings. Maskelyne's greatest triumph came in 1942 when he successfully convinced Rommel that the British Eighth Army was in the south of the Egyptian desert and that the Alamein attack would begin there rather than in the north. Although praised privately by Churchill and hunted by Hitler, Maskelyne ended his days in relative obscurity as a farmer in Kenya and died in 1973.

No ditches between here and work, I should be okay!
And you be careful too, y'hear?
Okay, time to call it a night.
See everyone tomorrow!
Saw a few locally that were being sanded down but that's it.
Black ice is rough on the nickers.
That's fascinating, Sandy!
Thank you!
