Fun tomorrow morning!

[TPD]

Rest assured TPD. With the mere purchase of new windshield wipers, ice melt, and a really spiffy fire engine red ice scraper, I have single-handedly guaranteed that this area will not experience freezing rain, sleet, or snow for the rest of the season. You're welcome in advance!

To warm for ice in St Mary's this morning.

Won't need an ice scrapper this morning unless you're up North.

Another "swing and a miss" for St. Mary's.

Unfortunately you are all wrong. Everything is covered in ice this morning in the lower part of STM. Thank goodness for VISA - it's every where you want to be!

I guess I've been told. I feel so silly now.

Yep the same posts that are in multiple threads are usually so full of wisdom that posters want to make sure that all of the members see them.

Was it on the roads or just the cars? If everything was covered in ice, the schools would've jumped on that chance to delay or close.

No ice on the island...not even on elevated surfaces like cars and such.

Windshields are already covered with ice in lower St. Mary's. Can't wait for morning to come since I have no ice scraper!

one of the first things i did when i moved here was buy a scraper. who else doesn't own one around here?? seriously!

I have seven of 'em. A different color for every day of the week. But seeing that, hstorically speaking, Tuesday's are the heaviest days for snow and ice, my Tuesday/Teal one is almost worn out.

I keep a 6'X8' tarp for just this type of weather. It covers the roof, side windows, and windshield of my old truck great.

Mechanicsville: Nothing, roads are dry, The only ice is in my tea...

Thanks to OPM, downtown DC is practically a ghost town this morning! Roads are fine, and without the usual FUBAR'd traffic patterns. Tomorrow morning might be quite a different story from what they're saying.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. I'll bet it saves a lot of time and hassle on those snow/ice mornings.

It works great. You just have to be careful with the grommets and your paint job. When I get my new (to me) truck, I'm going to remove the grommets.

You forgot to mention how they are color matched to your Day of the Week Bloomie thongs.

I think ALL the Winter weather just skips OVER you?

Strange. Nothing in Great Mills; however, the NWS added St. Mary's to the Winter Weather Advisory.

Can you just imagine how many people have landed in the emergency rooms due to the ice? I don 't want to be one of them, but I have almost had my feet slip out from under me many times. I think I need some of those Winter hiker boots with the metal grips at the bottom? Hey hmm can I get some of those for my tires too? Then I can drive anywhere right? LOL

The forecast doesn't appear very ominous, but even if roads are fine people will drive poorly enough to make up the difference.

 

[ArkRescue]

Now see, you could have picked me up on the way and dropped me off at work ..... but noooooo you just kept driving by

It's 28* but there was no precipitation until I got to Marlo Heights and even then no ice.

Go to work you bums! Roads are fine.

I think awpitt is like PigPen from the Peanuts because that dust bowl around him seems to obscure his view of everything and obviously repels all the Winter weather from his body too .... ????
