Thirty-one degrees and falling

[clevermanka]

We did get to go see Jenny Lawson last night. The roads going in were nearly completely dry, and coming home they were barely wet. COLD, but not frozen.

This morning, however. Holy schnikes. It was slick as snot. Thank gods mckitterick was awake to give me a ride to campus. I think I would've broken something trying to get up the hill on foot. As it was, I slipped and nearly fell just getting from the car into the building.

WELCOME TO SPRING IN KANSAS.

It's scary out there. I think I might not make it to Replay tonight to see Michael Buck. Crazy how it's more dangerous right now than it was after the snow.

I heard the highest chance of nastiness is between now and 3:00. Just enough time to build up and squish my plans.

I was thinking about that as I slid a couple times driving home:

Rain: no problem to drive through if you're not going so fast you hydroplane.

Snow: no problem to drive through if you can get enough traction to plow through. Snow is crystallized flakes, no worse than sand, really.

Ice: HOLY CRAP NO TRACTION. Same stuff as snow, only solid. It's like the difference between steps (chunky like snow) and a polished slope.

NGL, I fear for my life walking home tonight.
