Title: ICE ICE Baby!
Post by: Palehorse on January 16, 2016, 12:01:38 PM
The roads and all walking surfaces a a sheet of ice this morning. If you have to go out you had better put spikes and chains on your shoes, or you'll instantly be body slammed to the ground by the ice man.  :mad:

I had to spend 15 minutes chipping ice off the truck while trying to stay upright at the same time. For a while, I pretended I was on skates and high sticking my opponent while playing hockey.
