It rained for just barely 5 minutes I think, about 1/2 hour before midnight... After that round of drinks it seemed everyone emerged onto the streets to go to their next evening destination. Surprise! I've never seen such a spectacle of people everywhere falling and slipping around. I can't even imagine what kind of hell it must have been for all the pretty girls in their high heels. I was thoroughly laughing and enjoying everyone's misery until I myself fell. Four times. Everyone looks stupid when they're slipping on ice.

Lots of elderly don't leave their apartments at all when it's like that but sometimes they must. My apartment is heated by electricity only so if the grid goes out I'm in trouble. I might buy a canister of gas to use in one of those propane heaters (we have one but it's down in the cellar at the moment). Yeah, just leaving the ice as-is is pretty lame.
