Time to harness up the pooch, cuz we're going ...
 

skijoring! Giddyup, doggie.

Lots of ice around these parts yesterday. I had to scrape about 1/4 inch off my car before heading back to Albany. Thankfully today it seems to be cold enough that we'll just have snow instead of the lovely "wintry mix."

Oooh, there is nothing lovely about a wintry mix or an afternoon melt and then an overnight refreeze.

I understand that on the outskirts of S.D. some peoples pipes have frozen and burst! {or whatever happens to frozen pipes....}

That's pretty much what happens. I've only had that happpen once, but luckily I lived in a rental and my landlord had to fix it.

You should see what happened at Magic Mountain - they had pipes bursting all over the park, fountains frozen over - there's some fun pics here.

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing those pictures. What a nightmare for the maintenance workers!! A wee bit more than a broom and a dustpan to fix that mess. :(

Now instead of "Code V", we have "Code I"

I particularly liked this picture:

It's been 23 here at night in Modesto, Ca. I was surprised to see we made national news.

You're in Modesto? I'm so......so sorry.
