Ice Ice Baby

Today we had our first weather-related car accident. It was my husband, not me, and the Mazda, not the new car. The car slid on an icy street and he lost control, smashing into a curb. And this despite studded snow tires.

My husband called me when he got to work and told me about it, and I braced myself for a big dented fender. When he got home (early) tonight, I ran out to the garage to look and I couldn't even see the problem. He had to point it out to me. It looks like nothing, but apparently has affected the alignment, and the car won't go over 35 mph. So he's going to try to get it fixed tomorrow. Though, judging by the local news tonight, he'll have to get in line.

I'm half expecting at least a snow delay at my son's school tomorrow, as the high tonight is supposed to be 2 degrees (it's 7 degrees now), and that means lots of slippery roads before the sun has a chance to melt the ice.

I sure hope I can sleep tonight. Last night I was up three times for no apparent reason and I really need some rest. It's going to be a cold, snowy, busy week.
