Oops! Have an Ice Day!

As a favor to a blog buddy, Fiona and I picked up a neighbor's son for a carpool to the Middle School this morning. It looked to be a lovely day, with clear skies and temps in the low 40s. We listened to some fun tunes and managed to arrive at the building even earlier than I normally get Fiona there when it's just the two of us. There was one problem, however: Ours was the only car in the lot; school had been canceled.

Fiona called the school hotline just to make sure, but we all had figured it out even before the recording came on: There was obviously an ice storm a few hours away. A few minutes of listening to the radio confirmed this. I took everyone home and got back into bed. Before I got back up, our front steps were covered in ice.
