    MOFF, if salt doesn't do it, you just may have to empty cat litter all over the place.

    Slick, please don't stress, sit down and get yourself a cup of hot cocoa with the rest of us - your Bailey should spiff it up.

    Stay safe everybody!

    well ... today's forecast high in Chicago is 32 degrees ... I was thinking I should buzz through the car wash because it's going to be below freezing the next several days. Mario, I'd like peppermint Schnapps in my hot chocolate instead of Bailey's, please.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Well, the salt didn't work. I did get the top step and half the second and half the bottom one clearned before I pooped out. So, I took Randi's advice and put kitty litter on the ice on those two. I didn't have enough energy to even get to the sidewalk.

    cassiesmom, I had to grin at you wanting to wash your car and it being 32 degrees. My step mom did that once and got frozen in the car! She couldn't get any of the doors open or the windows rolled down. My dad had to open the doors with a blow torch. I voted for leaving her in there myself!

    More hot chocolate please? I'm freezing and my arthritis is really aching. Teach me to go outside and play in the ice!

    Hi, Mario! What have you been doing today monkey boy?

    Well, bless my heart, my neighbor boy is out there shoveling my walk!!!
    I plan on paying him really well!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Once you get free, get yourself some de-icer. There is stuff that's lawn-safe (unlike salt) that you can buy and keep on hand.

    I've made a big fresh batch of hot cocoa, have the cinnamon shaker handy to sprinkle on the top if anyone wants, and have a pot of blueberry tea in my antique blue Wedgwood teapot.

    Storm headed our way tonight, we'll see what the balance between snow, rain and ice ends up being!

    mmmm. hot cocoa and some baileys. sounds wonderful, although I am still at work, the day is officially over. It is cold here in Indiana, but no snow or ice as I have seen many of you got.

    There was a prediction for sleet and freezing ice last weekend, but it just rained. They even thought that we could get an inch of snow.... never happened. Some of the rain did freeze over, but nothing terrible. Of course, one of our local weathercasters has a broken arm.... from falling on the ice! Wonder if he even HEARD what he had predicted!

    More Bailey's please!
