The lead story @ startribune.com as I write this is the ice storm that's heading towards the Twin Cities. The headline? "Twin Cities area faces ice invasion." Um, okay.

Invasion?

Sounds a bit extreme to me. And how long will the ice be staying?

Meanwhile, we aren't supposed to travel. Some schools have closed down early. But I'm at work and my van is out there just waiting for the half inch to inch of ice they're predicting before the rain turns to snow. Will make for a joyous commute home, I'm sure. I'm just glad that I live a mere 3 miles from work.
