Skating Rink

With the ice pellets and freezing rain from last night’s snowstorm, the roads have become a huge skating rink. No less than shoes with blades or spikes should be used by people walking the sidewalks. It is THAT precarious. From my 6th floor view this morning, I saw the cars move at a crawl along the street, and some snowplows and ’salt dispenser’ trucks making the thoroughfares less slippery and safer to navigate. The city does look picture-perfect with all the roofs and the grounds blanketed with the white stuff. I would have loved it if it were not so dangerous.
