ice storm

by JL on February 1, 2007

Today all the local news outlets went wall-to-wall with winter blast coverage. My entire day was spent wearing an amazingly effective rainsuit, as I went from winter adventure to another. Along the way I snapped a bunch of behind the scenes photos, my favorite showing the engineering staff as they went along with a “hose pipe” (that’s a “garden hose” to all you yankees) spraying the snow and ice off the satellite dishes.

My impenetrable rain gear allowed me stand along the road and get completely sprayed with slush by passing semi trucks. It didn’t, however, protect me from all the kids hell bent on throwing snow balls at my crotch.

Anyway, I’m glad to be home and finally thawing out.
