In case you’re wondering, my internet connection has been very spotty thanks to the 1/2-inch of ice clinging on just about every outdoor surface after last night’s storm. (My cell phone signal’s been almost as bad, too, or I’d have Twittered.) Yes, I took pictures for you. I’ll try to post them tomorrow. It’s beautiful out there, with all the bare tree limbs sheathed in ice and glittering like socialites wearing their finest diamonds and silk.
Meanwhile, we’ve got more freezing rain falling, and if the sounds of the fire- and police-sirens are any indication, we’ve got an abundance of idiots trying to drive in this mess. As I mentioned before, these idiots who don’t see that the roads are coated with ice also apparently can’t see the weather report on their freakin’ TV screens.

But at least my heater is fixed. For that, I’m grateful, and so are my twin ice cutters.
So I figure now is a good time to play Word Fugue, just in case tomorrow is more of the same. If you’ve never played along before, here are the rules:
1. I start it off with a word.
2. You look at the most recently posted comment.
3. You leave ONE word that comes to mind upon reading the most recent comment. (No chit chat, got it?!)
4. You may play as many times as you like, but you may not use the same word twice.
5. The game continues for 7 days until comments are closed.
Here’s the word:
Sleet
Your turn!
