It's pouring rain out right now. Not good. Lots of ice and flooding. There is a salt shortage. Temperatures will drop making bad even worse.
The snowman I built January 5th has weathered a lot of temperature changes and appears much slimmer. He's probably solid ice under the surface. Mrs. Lee wanted me to remove the umbrella I gave him today because "we're not entertaining the neighbors" and I'm "not two." She had no idea how dangerous it was carrying a knife on the icy sidewalk to cut the umbrella off.
