Nice doggy...
They weren't just whistlin' Dixie at Intellicast...
From my dashboard infosystem:
And that is while I'm sitting in the sunshine at the airport...
You'd think that folks that live up here in the Frozen Tundra would know how to drive in icy conditions.
Obviously the local pick 'em up-driving Snowbillies are having issues with vehicle control too.
The tracks left by this fender bender are puzzling...
I shot another snap as I went past in the opposite direction, just to get the full impact (heh) of the mishap...
Amazing how he just barely missed the traffic control post as he skidded to a halt. The back fender must have missed the upright by millimeters...
Ah well- off to work...
Time for walkabout in McMahon Stadium...
Home of the CFL Stampeders (The Stamps for short)
Man, it looks coooold out there.
I'm here to tell ya, it's cold3.
And since it's so damn cold, let's go walk around in it.
First- a hike up to the top of the temporary stands.
Much more dangerous than it sounds, actually.
This is why- there is a coating of the really really really cold white stuff on most of the steps.
This makes the climb treacherous enough.
But events conspire to push the risk to the next level, so to speak.
Hidden under the icy rime is the fact that some of the flooring planks aren't fastened down completely.
One false step and you'll fall down through the scaffolding like a pachinko ball.
This little widowmaker is up at the top where the cold wind has blown away the crust of snow, but also made the temp of the aluminum structure about -30°F.
Don't touch it with your bare hand, Florida Boy... Let someone else fix it.
Nice view from the top, though. Worth the climb.
If the wind isn't blowing too hard, these might be the best seats in the house.
The view from HITS isn't too bad...
It'll be Hockey under the Lights-
Puck drop is February 20th at 4:00pm , Sundown is at 6:01pm that night.
Breakdown is going to be a joy.

Oh. My. God.
Lady on the train between terminals at ATL was "stranded" in West Palm Beach - she was still giggling about it (a Stew for one of the airlines). 78 degrees yesterday.
I'm guessing the pickup driver moved to Calgary from Atlanta ...
looking at the black marks on both that lower sign and the poll, i dont think it missed it at all, i think it just clipped it, not enough to push it over or dent it up much, but enough to put on some paint.
