        Glad you survived the jump!

        Just for future reference. If rain/sleet is in the forecast. Leave the ladder stored away!

I figured I had enough time to finish it out (maybe 10 clips left) and make it back to my roof ladder in time. Well I was mistaken, the roof had completely froze, and I had 0 traction. I had on some thick wool socks so I took my shoes off and tested, it seemed to have some grip so I tossed my shoes to the ground. I was able to climb up the steep gable to my awaiting roof ladder on the other side. Unfortunately there was about a 10 ft gap of frozen shingles from the bottom of my roof ladder to my ground ladder set. I tried to hold on to the edge of the soffit and slide down. It worked for about 2ft, then my ass end started sliding off the front of the house. I fell about 12ft into the flowerbed/bushes. As soon as I hit the ground I immediately had that bloody nose feeling/taste. I sat there for a second to make sure I was injured. Luckily I didn't break anything, but it was a pretty shitty feeling at the time. I guess moral of the story, ice can accumulate really fast, and don't underestimate it.
            Damn, and I was planning on getting up there tomorrow to sweep my chimney. Wish I hadn't procrastinated last weekend.

                My cousins husband works for UPS in Denton, he ended up staying at a friends house in Denton b/c the roads and wrecks were getting worse.

                  Lake Highlands - my street doesn't "look" bad (still has puddles of water) ... but freezing rain is falling and my front porch steps are iced over so it's only a matter of time.

                  Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                  You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                    Gave my wife the first snowball of the season. Then when she went outside to grab some snow just outside the garage. I gave here a little push and she went sliding down the driveway on her chest, lol.

                                No snow here. Just sleet and ice, ice, ice.
