That other substance is called "SALT", just like the stuff you sprinkle on your French Fries but in larger granules. It's very bad for your car, that's the stuff that really makes our iron dissolve. Oh yeah, the wide horizontally curved pieces of metal attached to the front of those big truck spreading the salt are called "SNOW PLOWS". They push the accumulated snow to the side of the road so we have disgusting black piles to look at most of the winter.
Don't worry, Bob. Ross is safe from the snow. He's in Seattle, where the temp rarely dips below 40F. I believe what he's experiencing is a phenomenon called rain. Over on my side of the mountains (average annual precip. <7"), I'm not that familiar with that, either. It is strange to see water, frozen or not, falling from the sky. Was Chicken Little right?

Havi,
I have an android phone. It adds to the addiction (and your post count).
There's actually a mobile version of FTE. But I don't usually use it because it leaves a lot of info out.

My company got me a smart phone. I don't often check into FTE with it due to the small screen and my eyeballs that aren't what they used to be.....LOL
