Date: 2013-12-24 05:46 pm (UTC)Several of the others are disturbing in terms of the awe they inspire.
Would that streets as skating rinks was something that had been planned instead of an accident.

Date: 2013-12-24 06:49 pm (UTC)The ice was thick enough that you couldn't step through it (though it would have been a hazard to ankles if you could). It became literally impossible to walk upright in Williamsburg, and driving wasn't a good idea either. People were getting around by crawling on all fours.

Date: 2013-12-25 05:43 am (UTC)I used to live in the Midwest and Colorado and drove on snow there without any more than the usual precautions. When it snows here I'm terrified to drive.

Date: 2013-12-24 07:24 pm (UTC)We lost a white birch (which don't grow so well here to start with) in a series of two ice storms a few days apart many, many moons ago.

Date: 2013-12-24 08:32 pm (UTC)-- Steve found the ride here a bit fraught; not the drive, but the VIA station had run out of salt and sand before the platforms had quite been cleared... penguin shuffling down half a train-length with a load of Christmas gifts definitely helped keep off some holiday pounds.

Date: 2013-12-29 12:12 am (UTC)At least we've been seeing salt trucks and sidewalk plows, (where the sidewalk isn't blocked).
