Mrs Taco and I were going to the store and an SUV heading the opposite direction had a huge sheet of ice fly off it's roof hitting the car behind it. :wow

Be careful out there


Take a water hose and spray off your entire vehicle it works better than trying to scape the ice away by hand

Birds moving in around the trees can shake ice off the branches too. Heads up!

Silly Texans. Ice is not for amateurs. Leave it up in Mountain country where we can deal with it appropriately.

I ended up going to the car wash and blasting it all off with the power spayer. The top was kind of hard for the vertically challenged. :oops

We had had a lot of fun earlier knocking it all off of our trucks ... I just went to get off the chunks that wouldn't budge. It was a Ms. Independent moment. That, and I needed to go to the store. :lol

People in the south need to learn how to function when they get a little ice and snow. :) I am sick and tired of hearing about Florida getting off days when they get a little ice cuz they don't know what the fuck ice is outside of little cubes in their margaritas.

We will when you stop dying in the streets when it's 95 in the summer.

Thanks for the heads-up, btw. This morning's commute was pretty bad ... there were sheets flying off people's cars like crazy down 35.

It was kind of creepy, though, seeing big chunks fall from power lines... :fro
