Help us, we're trapped!

Enough with the cold already. I get it. It's winter. But we're done now, OK?

It's 11.7 degrees outside. We'll have a high of 20 today. Other than one odd 40 degree day last week, it's been like this for a month. In January we got over 20" of snow, which is 12" above average.

Oh, and that nice 40 degree day, do you know what happened? To melted the top layer of the snow. Not all if it, mind you, just the top layer. Then guess what happened next?

That's right! It got down to single digits again that evening and all the slush froze solid! Max fell and hurt his knee coming back from the bus stop. Angie fell twice...once in the parking lot at work, and once in the driveway at home. And she always does really good in tree pose at yoga, so I know it's not her balance. It's the frigging ice.

The dog is getting stir crazy. It's hard to walk him when it's this cold to begin with, but add in the ankle-breaking contour of frozen slush on the sidewalks and streets and you have a real recipe for disaster. We're trapped.
