I FEEL YOUR PAIN.

(Every single frickin' storm drain that exists is stopped up. I swear.)

I feel for you -- but I love your icon. I always thought Robin Hood was an underrated Disney classic.

SERIOUSLY.

(I've just emerged from walking back and forth in four inches of painfully hot water in the bathtub, which is the only remedy I know.)

In fact, the temperature is probably just *below* freezing. If I recall my very basic chemistry correctly, it is, counter-intuitively - possible to get water with ice in it *colder* than ice itself. I do not understand this, but after walking this evening, I 100% believe it.

Salt + potholes + Winter = cold-ass puddles. :(

And that is why I wore my Gore-Tex boots to work today. They didn't help me negotiating the steps down to Arlington, though...totally ice sluice. It was like frat boys were just waiting to pour vodka down it.

Go turn on the water in your bath tub, fully hot.

Get a book.

Sit on the edge of the tub and soak your feeties, preferably with a cup of hot tea to sip while you read.

Whiner!

I hate.hate.hate cold feet.
Poor You!

And how! I hated it so much I spontaneously decided to have sushi to get away from the lakes and wet socks. Waaa.

AUGH! Yeah That sucks. Wet/Cold feet are NOT fun.

Well, your other choice is a 45 minute commute down 495, with the weather, turns into an hour and a half obstacle course of survival from the Stupid People on sloppy, icy roads in large steel vehicles.

...That or having to clear snow and ice and slush off of your car as the wind&sleet bites through your face, standing in, as mentioned, puddle of freezing slush, seeping into your shoes.

Average depth of puddles in Somerville: 4"

Height of my merrels: 3 1/2"

result: slush in the shoes

it felt so good to put on warm slippers!

Which is why pizza will be delivered tomorrow. Mmm, meat.

Oh, do you want to make truffles for my house? If you never want to make them again, I understand, but I can pay you!

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Ooo, decadent pizza goodness.

What is this 'make', when I have so many leftovers I can foist on you? We shall talk. ;)

[elkster.livejournal.com]

GAH! I hate cold feet. I have cold feet 24/7, will mine ever be warm? ;)

another 75 and you'd have beaten Blackburn (except theirs were rather small...)

I can sympathize - what wasn't ankle deep slush was sheets of pure ice on the way home from the bus stop. I was just praying I wouldn't break my neck before the frostbite set in.

Your feet will be warm again. My Super PsiKick Powers (tm) says that in just a few months you will be so hot, sweaty and miserable that this will be just a memory.
Until then - grab a bottle of rum, a tea, a good book, fill your tub with hot bubbly water and don't come out till May. It can't hurt.
(and just in case that does not work.. *hug*)

See coscaram's icy post and my reply. And stop stepping in puddles! At least you didn't have to park a car in one. My co-workers had to chip their cars out of mini frozen ponds this a.m.
