Y'all stay the eff home.

No.

I always like the "I got 4 wheel drive!", crowd.

Glad you survived the jump!

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

I was on a roof earlier hanging christmas lights, I had just started the last dormer when it started to drizzle/sleet. 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.

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.
