Oh noes, here comes an ice storm!

If there's one thing that winter in DC is famous for, it's the dreaded "wintry mix."  And the storm tonight into tomorrow is looking like a mess of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, eventually changing to rain but not before the morning commute becomes a demolition derby.  Freezing rain is the stuff nightmares are made of whenever you have to be out on the roads.  Just an eighth of an inch coating the road surface and off to the skating rink we go!  (Note:  Yes, that statement applies to you too, Mr./Mrs. SUV driving asshat.  You can hit the curb or the guardrail just as easily as everyone else - if not even easier, with your higher center of gravity.  So maybe, just maybe, you should slow down like the rest of us?)  Physics!  Whowouldathunk it?
