So it snowed all afternoon yesterday, and it rained through the wee hours, leading to icy, slushy conditions around here, compounded by a blackout that left the traffic lights inoperative (the power went out briefly here in the BlueTower too, but thankfully returned). Understandably, many folks who were close enough to do so chose to walk to the train station rather than dig their cars out and deal with all of that. The thing is that with the sidewalks all icy, all these pedestrians chose to walk in the streets, making the drive to the train an adventure that involved avoiding idiots with their backs to traffic on icy roads with no traffic lights.

Always an adventure.
