    by almost you mean it did - just not any later than 8am. it's below freezing now, it's supposed to ice over tonight, whether or not it holds over until the morning (and we're not in school!) is yet to be seen.

    so far, just a bunch of tards that can't drive on ice have killed themselves in Oklahoma.

    It's been nice and sunny all week. Have to wear a jacket in the mornings, but it warms up in the afternoon. I even got a chance to go out riding with a few friends.

      i've never driven on ice in the Pontiac...err, Monaro. but i have done plenty of ice driving in the truck. the all terrain tires help some, but not much. it's kind of fun if you know what to do.

      as soon as you hit ice, you notice all the controls go mushy (yeah, even in the truck, lol, so i'm sure it's even more noticeable in a car). what you're supposed to do is take your feet off ALL the pedals, then (only if you're sliding) turn into the slide and get ready to pounce on the accelerator once you hit tarmac again. if you're not sliding, you just hold the steering wheel in the exact position you were holding it when you hit the ice.

      or, you can go out and driftoooooo EVERYWHERE (though i've only done it in parking lots). the most fun thing to do is drift in a FWD car. (think traying, without the trays). but FWD cars are a little less tricky to maneuver on the ice, seeing as how all the weight is over the drive wheels.

      it ended up freezing last night, school is canceled, and there have been a number of silly accidents this morning alone. we have this overpass, at HWY6 and Hempstead HWY, right before 290, that goes up really high, then goes back down under 290. at least five or six cars this morning flew up the overpass, not thinking about ice, lost control, and just glided right to their doom. lol. people are stupid.

        I didn't think any Americans could.

        My friend who moved to California takes the day off when it rains to spectate the carnage on the "freeways".

          They had to be accelerating, the car was almost stationary and had no momentum, then just flew off.

          Apparently we're getting the 80mph winds tomorrow too, with snow expected. I blame the americans, it's bad enough they ship bad tv over here, now we get your weather too? bah ;)

          Should be fun. Least I'm not driving in to work tomorrow

            YES! the flu is AWESOME!!!

            and by that i mean "please kill me now"

            i've never been so sick in my entire life. it (literally) feels like i broke my back, except i can feel every stabbing dagger of pain every time i try to move.

            this sucks. it just hit me a few hours ago...already been to the doctor. he gave me four Advil tablets and two butter cookies. they were pretty tasty.

            Why is it when you get the a bad flu it feels like your back is bent like a C?  Anyway bonus points to whoever can find me that video of the cars running into each other at speed on a icey highway at night knocking about like bowling pins.

            70mph on a dual carraigeway that has a sea of water covering it = fun!

            No snow mind, but the winds were about 40-50mph this morning.

            My mate's car got smashed up today by... of all things... a roof tile, caused by the gale force winds.

            He was not in the car at the time, fortunately, but it did some good ole damage.

            Half a tree fell into my neighbours garden. Another tree has half-fallen into another tree and looks like it will eventually end up in our garden. Hopefully it'll bounce off another tree on the way down and end up in our other neighbours garden. Not like they've got anything in theirs. Makes Katrina look a bit tame (not).

            Other tree-related tales of interest included a big tree opposite the church which fell across the street...killing the local vicar as he was getting out of his car. Another grisly vindication of atheism!

            Actually he was a good bloke. Chatted to him once while hanging around in the graveyard with a girlfriend late at night. Just seemed happy anyone was even near the church, bless him. RIP.
