Sure, we had to build a giant-ass dam with an equally giant-ass underground sluice way under the city just to keep downtown from flooding during tornado season... But I'll be damned if you don't get some nice sun here.

With freezing rain coming, you'll need it. Rob, according to Jalopnik rock salt is apparently approaching unobtainium levels in certain parts of the North American continent - as in (like ammo) there's none on the shelf at any big box store. In fact there's a poster there that's currently attempting to daily drive a corvette in Montreal with ~300 pounds of salt on board for ballast who was advised to conceal the bags due to the increased risk of car theft/break in.

Turns out to be less critical than we thought it would be -- we got about an inch and a half of snow/sleet and then lots of rain. I've already cleared my driveway of what I described to my boss as "a couple tons of dirt-flavored slurpee" -- and I had the foresight last night to put tarps over my car and my front walk. It's over freezing, too, and it looks like some of the ice that was out there earlier is melting already.
