Ice Ice Baby...
Emergency services worker Doug McDonald, second from right, and Tulsa Fire Capt. Larry Bowles look to the roof of the FedEx Kinko's in Tulsa, Okla., on Friday, Jan. 19, 2007, after a large sheet of ice fell from the slanted roof, damaging a 2006 Ford Mustang GT. The driver was getting out of his car when the ice struck the vehicle, but was not injured seriously.

When I lived in Oklahoma I drove a motorcycle in the winter. Normally it's not really that bad there. You have one or two ice storms and then by mid February winter is pretty much over. Remember they had a drought and wildfires last winter.

I'd say it's another reason to move to a warmer climate!

a large chunck of ice slid off my self storage unit roof when the sun was out last year. There are a lot of metal roofs that the ice just slides off. watch out.

I try not to let anyone park that close.
Only 10 spaces !!!
Snow, heck I don't even drive when it's humid out.

It hurts me just to look at it!
I really have no choice but to drive my Stang in the snow.

My Jeep is in the shop, again. So, I've had to drive my stang in the snow and ice of the last couple storms. And, now today, while my stang is buried under 6 inches of snow in the parking lot, I find out the day crew can't make it in. So, Guess who will be working 36 hours straight! Argh.

But, at least I didn't get crushed by a huge sheet of ice. that would suck.
