Welcome to late fall in New England

[fbhjr]

It is 28F/-2C outside right now. I woke up to find everything in my apartment complex coated in ice and zero done with sand or salt about it.

The entire time I got ready for work a car was trying to get up the hill out of our apartment complex. When I walked out he had made it maybe 1 car length.
I watched another car slide down the same hill sideways with no control at all on the ice.

I came back upstairs and emailed my boss I’d be late as I physically can’t get out of my parking lot this morning.

It is supposed to get up to 42F/+5C with heavy rain and possible flooding by noon.
But, the ice will melt…

Winter officially starts in 9 1/2 days.

Sounds ... errr ... interesting.
So - did you get to work in the end?

Eventually the sand truck came through and coated the roads. So, I got to work a few hours late, but had been doing work at home, so it all works out.
