The Snow is melting!
 

Looks like the snow is slowly going away here in Sparks. Only the big piles are left, and a little in the planters and stuff...

I expect it to be gone by monday or I'm filing a complaint.

There is still quite a bit by my house, but at least if it clears up here at work, it's a small step.

The rain did help clear up the snow, but it left a nice layer of ice:

I just about killed myself in the driveway this morning... I stepped onto the slope and surfed the concrete all the way down to the door of my car! Only by grabbing the mirror and diggin a foot into the snow pile on the lawn was I able to stop, and stay upright. Finding the leverage to open the door and get in the car was difficult. There was virutally zero friction! :shock:

Are you driving your Sporty WXR?

Yes, they finally cleared the steets though at our house....

At least you didn't eat it.

I ice skated across the complex to get to my car this morning, kind of fun, and yesterday I got to use an umbrella. :D

That sounds like me yesterday. Fun stuff :lol:

Sounds like it's time for cleats.

I had an unfortunate incident with cleats when I was a little kid.
I found a really old pair of plastic cleats and I decided that I should run with them on inside, on the lanolium floor. I got out a few long strides then out came my legs from underneath me, and I landed really hard on my bum.

....but cleats on the ice is probably a good thing.

Nope, I'm back to driving the no-so-sporty SXV.
