I Survived The Nagging Drizzle of 2006 Schools were closing last night! Surely there was a terrible storm headed our way! I should have known better. Instead of an ice storm, all we got was a nagging drizzle. NBC 10 is still saying that ice could happen, not quite ready to backtrack yet, but it admits this storm’s going to be “mostly rain.” The only real victim here were the stacks of wet Citypapers strewn in front of unsuspecting coffee shops. Surely the deliverymen would have thought, “Ha! No one will ever see this newspaper, since with all the ice nobody will be able to get into work.” And the only real danger anyone faced was probably the chance of slipping on the mounds and mounds of rock salt strewn on the pavement and asphalt. Those things could really hurt someone. So be safe out there, people. There may not be ice — but there’s some rock salt out somewhere, ready to make you slip.

I awoke this morning expecting to find my street paved with ice. I expected to be able to play hockey on Walnut Street, to be unable to get to work without falling several times. I expected The Ice Storm of 2006.
This was the funniest blog I have seen in a while. I had to link to it from my blog!
I thought I could skate in down Market Street this morning as I came into work.
Wasn’t the case.
I hate forecasting ice but hey, I’d rather be wrong and get rain than be right as opposed to have ice coating the whole place.
Enjoy your rain!
