weather and driving alert for the New England area...

[lagilman]

Even if you think the road looks cleared tonight or tomorrow morning? They're predicting an inch+ of ice under the final layer of snow before it all ends tonight, so the plows are only going to be clearing down to a shimmy-layer.

Be careful out there, folks!

(ooo, Storm Team 8 is showing my neighborhood! Dude! That's my street!)

(and oh man, am I glad that the fire broke out in New Haven yesterday, not today! I shudder to think about them having to fight a 3-alarm fire in these temperatures...)

That fire was *crazy*. Yow.

One of my dad's favorite stories to tell was about the time a HUGE fire broke out in an old mill building in our hometown in the middle of winter. As head of the water district he would go down to big scenes like that to make sure the water pressure was behaving properly, and so he was witness to the Fire Chief realizing that he was frozen solid under a thick layer of ice. He couldn't move. A bunch of his crew had to pick him up and carry him, completely upright, into a nearby building so he could thaw out. *g*

I can't have been the only one noting what part of downtown the fire was in, and how hot it was, how fast, and wondering when the arson investigators were going to be on the scene...

Channel 8 just showed footage of the investigators ... :}
