Running errands and I noticed I have growing icicles on my side mirrors and my wipers are growing icebergs.

It's apparently a bit cold out!

Just need that missing snow now!

Well this isn't good considering I'm 30 miles from home and have a ton of overpasses and the FH bridge to cross

I had to pull over at Academy because my windshield froze over with sleet. It took about 10 min to thaw. Anyway, I cancelled my appointments and went home. That was a first for me.

I hope all of that and the ice is a westside problem. Hey, we just had a big fire yesterday so we don't need the ice today. (Or maybe they do??)

Ha! I've honestly never had ice form on a vehicle while i was driving it!

Not freaked out about it - at all - and I won't tell you that I had flip-flops, jeans and a sweatshirt on... ;-)

I like cold weather!

It's back on! I had to go pick Brad up - and we are otw back to the house and the traffic on roads going north off I-10 (barker cypress, greenhouse) is really, really, really bad! It's taken 15 minute to get from I-10 to Saum's...
