We set a 100 year record for most snowfall today! Went 1 mile to get grocceries, unbeknownst to me had slow leak in right front tire. Excaberated by the sub zero wind chill, made it 2 blocks before tire rolled off the rim. Spare was frozen to its fixture- won’t budge. Caught cab home with groceries. Lesson? BE PREPARED!!!
Second lesson – Phoenix, I hate you! (Warmest city in U.S. right now 
)

Sorry for the irrelevant post, but I was quite rattled when I made it home last night. To all friends living along the snow belt, please be prepared before going out . I’ was very fortunate this happened close to home. On the interstate, it could have been disaterous. Stay warm!

Well, not irrelevant to me – this is about the only kind of diary entry that I respond to….I have a tendency to thread-jack and turn things into a facebook conversation. Oops.
Sorry to hear about your experience – ugh! I trust that you are having a better day today!:)
Oh dear; I’d thought it was a Tweet that went wrong. ;o)
Ordinarily I might be cross that you’d post a Tweet diary on the (numbers limited) Recent Diaries list, but given that you’re new… ;o)
Yo, what a bummer. I’m thinking the spare did you something of a favor inasmuch as changing a tire in that kind of weather could be frostbite. Glad it all ended reasonably well enough.
Truly sorry I am! We can still turn it into a political op, though. Just finished watching Barbara Boxer cheerleading for Hillary re the Ben Gazzi inquisition. She went a bit overboard but it would do me good to hear someone tell the thugs off. Hills came close. Again, sorry, this is embarassing. :-[
Thanks much! Eries weather made TWC and the Today show this a.m.! Never forget the spare tire!
Watch out where the huskies go!
Don’t you eat that yellow snow!
I feel like I need to go to
St. Alphonsos pancake breakfast!
I was running on fumes. If Ki had the blowout on the interstate, I wojuld have run out of gas long before the state cops came for me. Possible lost fingers/toes.
