Popsicle Bullets

• Sunday 8:30 pm, snow starts.
• Monday morning, freezing rain on top of snow.
• Monday, stay home.
• Tuesday, stay home. Hopefully clean ice covered snow blanket from car.
• Wednesday morning fret about staying home or trying to get to work.
• Soundtrack from Sunday to Wednesday:  Weather Channel
• Wednesday my office only had a handful of folks in it - and I almost chickened out but I made myself drive in while there were fewer people on the road.  Whew, not so bad I thought.  Until I had to drive home.  On the ride home, I discovered I have trust issues with drivers with no snow/ice driving experience who blow by at 40 mph when there is precisely 1.5 lanes open heading up Peachtree Street at 5 pm on Wednesday afternoon.
• Today I got a ride to/from work with a co-worker.  [thanks, Cindy!]
• On one side of Atlanta: frozen tractor trailer trucks. 
• Other sides of Atlanta:  restaurants and grocery stores with no bread, among other things.
• At my house you can skate from the street to the front door, if you don't fall down.  Just sayin'.
• One dog got stuck on the deck:  couldn't decide whether to press on and go or come back to me. 
• Dogs do not like skating.  Just sayin'.
• The 5"-6" of snow was no big thing.  The ice. is. a. big. thing.
• At least the power hasn't gone off.
• After apocal-ice 2011, I am buying some Yak Trax and maybe a wood burning stove or insert.
