I ordered some ice shoe strap things tonight. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0784 ... UTF8&psc=1 I'll let you know how they work out but for $25, thought it was probably a decent investment.

In Tinley, we almost had exclusively rain this week, which has now frozen to the drive, making the drive a sheet of ice. Knowing that there is snow coming on Monday and we aren't getting warm enough to melt any of this, I am thinking it is a good time to gear up so I can clear the snow (if we get the 6" or whatever -- maybe we get lucky and it all goes into the Northern suburbs again (apologies to Harvard Dan and the like.)) I'll let you know how they hold up. I dislocated my right kneecap a year and a half ago, so I get extra concerned when we get into these icy situations.

And as for now the dogs have had to be satisfied with just going in the backyard. No walks. They'll live. Winter's a losing proposition, but one you can't refuse. It's the nature of the winter storms. It's the newper's shoes.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Going down to almost -20 looks awful but I also feel like below 10 degrees cold as balls is just cold as balls. I know 60 from 80, I don't think I know 10 from -10.

Indiana Toll Road is one continuous sheet of ice; had to pull off about 15 miles east of South Bend.

I'd like to know what kind of magical traction system some of these morons have; I couldn't go more than 40 without starting to slide in my AWD vehicle.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

As someone who is still a dumb cigarette smoker I sure as fuck know the difference between 10 and -10. Polar Vortex is quittin’ time.

Have a terrible night and die in MANY fires.

Indiana is the worst state when it comes to snow/ice removal. Fuck INDOT.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

I took an old pair of running shoes and drilled about 10-12 3/16” sheet metal screws into the bottom of each around the perimeter, with a couple others across the forefoot and the heel. The screws aren’t nearly long enough to come up through all the rubber and foam that make up the sole of the shoe, and they give a HUGE amount of traction when shoveling or walking the dog. Easy to make and have never come close to slipping in them, even on the sheets of ice we have been dealing with around here.

Also if you fuck someone like they are a millionaire they might go try to be one.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

That's pretty damn clever.

I don't understand the crazy people who don't wear a hat or gloves in this weather. Who are you trying to impress. Everyone either feels really sorry for your non-functioning brain or is laughing at you.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I think those averse to hats are just too vain about their hair or some shit.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

I pay good money for my haircut. I am not going to fuck that with a hat. Now some nice lined leather gloves is fine. If your face can't be exposed to the cold walking from the car or train your a pussy.

I like the cold. I don't even wear a coat unless I'm going to be outside for 20 minutes or if it is below 0.

I picked up a $6 hunters cap from menards and a half decent pair of mittens. Those flaps over the ears are well worth the goofy look.

It's cold but not that bad. To all you complaining, I'm sorry you were born without testicles.

Good catch.
