I counted 13 multi-car accidents on the way to work, including 4 accidents just at the on-ramps to the 198 at Elmwood (one at each on-ramp!). Plus a few spin-outs. It usually takes me 15 or 20 minutes to get to work via the 198, 190 and 290 but it took more than an hour.
Black ice, freezing rain, it's a giant mess. I hear the skyway is closed, too.
I was tempted to take pictures but that's stupid while driving :)

Cold Day In HellStill sick as a dog, but... enjoying exploring a new programming language. XML literals, unrestricted operator and syntax overloading, optional explicit immutability and finally a non-verbose type system.

I think maybe I've found my post-Ruby future (not any time soon, though).

Still use it, but it's not a good general purpose language & is quite hideous to behold with it's four different line terminators and lack of any mutability. Erlang is awesome for comet and message queues but not a happy place to be every day.

Just Venting.I slammed my hand in a door yesterday. What's worse is that it must have bothered me so much in my sleep that I grabbed onto it with the other hand and then somehow rolled onto my stomach, and slept with my shoulder pressing into my hand and wrist all night. It's twitchy and palsied now in addition to hurting and has lost all strength.
Ouch.

(e:enknot) The Organizer!!! I love it!
Probably OK now that everything's been salted...
Between estrip, facebook, and twitter, you scared me out of driving today.
Be careful on your way home pumpkin guts.
I think the freezing rain was West and North of the city. 290 got much better the further East I went.
I was zippin down the 33 like a speed deamon today. No accdients witnessed or participated in thank The Organizer. Although I don't have my winter tirs on right now and spun out last sunday on the S curves with mya in the car.
I gotta admit, I'm still kinda spooked. I take the 198W to 190N route usually and it was a car graveyard. I really hope that is made more safe by 5PM. I was going 30 on the 190N just past the split.
