Fortunately, I went to our locker, yesterday and found my Trax. These are wire soles that attach to boots to prevent you from slipping!! I’d like to get out for a short walk, but it might be too dangerous. Tree limbs are snapping under the weight of the ice and power lines are down.<\/p>\n
Robert Frost (love that name) had a great poetic take on days like today. Here is his poem Fire and Ice.

\nFire and Ice<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\nSome say the world will end in fire,
\nSome say in ice.

\nTo say that for destruction ice
\nIs also great
\nAnd would suffice. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
