Freezing rain is wild.
I've literally not been able to get into my own vehicles.
Chains are a must if trying to drive.
And lets not even talk about how dangerous it is if you get into a freezing rain storm when out flying.
Makes my butt hole clench tighter than Mr. Scrooge is with a dollar.

Quick story for you guys.
When I was living in Vancouver long ago, we had a freezing rain storm one night. My pickup was sitting outside because the dump of an apartment that i lived in didn't even have a parking lot big enough for us all to park in, forget a covered area. My attempts to get into my truck the next morning failed.
And it took 2 days before it warmed up and thawed out to get into my pickup.
It had to be over an inch thick.
Walking the 6 blocks to a corner store for a few groceries was hard enough.
Couldn't walk on the sidewalks so I just walked down the streets.

Our crap is starting to melt but theres a few days under 0 coming up and then its +7 on the weekend, makes life easier for me as theres stuff for me to do at the old place. Today I was removing the camera system, its a whole lot easier to take out but its still a 10 hour job.

Freezing rain is gross and I hate it, it makes way too too many accidents happen. People get badly hurt of killed.
Some of our white crap went away today Ian, it got to at least plus 2 and the sun was out. It`s all down hill from here on with mostly -10`s and -11`s.
Beautiful rides John, the F100 looks almost black.

Good morning flat landers
Its a bit below 0, grey clouds with a light dusting of snow, no bare handed ladder work for me today, so the last bit of camera system removal will have to wait. I've got to fix one of my shop doors so that I can open up that bay and get the parts cab off the truck so theres lots of trouble for me to get into.

Just another quite and lazy winter day in paradise. Just another dusting of snow, just enough to make me sweep off my deck.
That`s neat John, what is that colour called?
Keeping busy at work Grant, Shaun?
A bit too cold for any bare handed work here too.

Another hairy day is done, used the come a long to open the door and off loaded the cab. 30 easy minutes to chat and load the cab and 4 hours to unload it and stow it away.
Tomorrow is my brothers assessment meeting and I'll find out where he's at with his condition, I know that he isn't socializing or participating in any activities so that may not be a good sign.
Auction is tomorrow night so its almost time to check the listings, then its off to chase down a leather couch set and see if its any good. according to the postal code the couch set is only 5 blocks away.

Good luck on your brother`s assessment meeting, if it doesn`t go well then what?
That`s a really neat colour, I like it.
It was just like that here too, no need for sun glasses today.
