I lived in St. Louis for a while, and there are two things that make St. Louis worse for driving in the winter: 1) Ice and 2) Hills. For some reason there is more ice storms in St. Louis, and where we lived out in St. Charles CO. there were some fairly significant wrinkles in the land that made it interesting.

Our neighbor's water main broke and there's like a 6 in. deep sheet of ice in front of our house down the whole street. Mr. Planet tried to break it up with a shovel and it just ricocheted back without so much as making a dent. Royally screws up our street parking.

If you do, get yourself good and dehydrated. You want that super yellow pee.

So [expletive] tired of it I don't even listen to the forecast. What's the point? What could the worst possible thing be? It can't possibly get worse, so who cares. But I did overhear someone at the gym talking about snow, and I'll be god damned if they weren't right. From NOAA:
Patchy blowing snow before 1pm, then snow likely with patchy blowing snow between 1pm and 4pm, then snow with patchy blowing snow after 4pm.
Ok, snow. Whatever. But here is the thing. To the [expletive] ASS HOLE ASS WIPE who wrote this piece of CRAP. You [expletive] MORON. You are a [expletive] stupid mother [expletive] [expletive] MORON. Patching blowing snow before 1 and then patchy blowing snow between 1 and 4 and then patching blowing snow after 4? WHAT THE [expletive] IS THE DIFFERENCE YOU MOTHER [expletive]? DO YOU EVER READ YOUR [expletive] FORECAST ... DICK WAD. You should [expletive] die for being so [expletive] stupid.

[expletive] me.

Is that pee warmer or something? Or is there something with the composition of the pee that makes it better for melting ice?
