Pursuant to my last post:

Now, imagine trying to drive on something like that.

I managed to make it up here to B'ham relatively intact. I-5 was rather icky in the no-man's land through north SnoCo/south Skagit, but it was overall passable. What was awful was the exit. Yours truly had an unfortunate encounter with a reflective marker. Although this was preferable to the other two options, which were unfortunate encounters with the freeway exit sign or the back of a Bronco. Car's fine--not even a scratch. I do think the incident shaved a year off the useful life of my heart, though.

Traversing pathways on campus was a drag. My joints are so screwy to begin with that it only takes one odd step and I've thrown out a hip, ankle or knee. Slippery stuff under me? Not cool at all.

I hope the forecast is right, and it warms up enough tonight and tomorrow to wash/melt some of this stuff down. It may re-freeze tomorrow night, but it should be good through the day, at least.
