Snoooooow!
Argh. It snowed last night. And now I get to drive to work. Argh.
Update, after 7PM: it turns out the snow wasn’t a problem at all. The streets in town were a little slushy, but I didn’t have any trouble getting to work. Once I was able to knock off the solid shell of rock-candy-hard ice that had formed on my car during the night — which meant I was a half hour late to work. Note to self: purchase an ice-scraper for the car. Fortunately my friend happened to have one, but I’ll need my own next time.
Anyway, the champagne is cooling in the fridge, and the steak dinner has been eaten. Happy New Year, kids.

Happy new year to you, Ms Spleen. Already January here. Nice fireworks along the
Thames. Vodka out of the freezer, so I’d better stop typing. Pete

Happy New Year!
Here in Aus it’s so far so good… but ’tis only 11 hours old (12 in some places, younger in others).

In addition to an ice scraper, buy an extra bottle or two of winter formula windshield washer fluid. Splashing it on the windshield will speed work on clearing it.

Happy New Year back atcha! Wait — I hate people who write “back atcha.” It’s like people who right “purt’ near” for “pretty near,” itself an unnecessary phrase. Just say “near.”
So: “Happy New Year to you!” That’s better.

Yeah, my washer fluid tank is completely empty, which means I had to depend on today’s rain to get rid of the salty muddy stuff that got thrown up on my windshield by passing trucks.

That’s the other advantage to having spare bottles of the stuff, of course.
