holy god, ice everywhere.

We have about 5 or so inches of sleet in Rolla, MO right now. All of it has accumulated in the last 5 hours. And it's still coming. Not snow, sleet. Ice. Everywhere.


I just went out with a friend in a Subaru WRX with some Blizzak winter tires and had a hell of a lot of fun drifitng around parking lots. That thing went better in the snow then my Toyota goes in the rain. It wasn't even affeccted by it. Meanwhile my friend in an 86 Golf GTI couldn't make the car move onto the street.


My university doesn't cancel classes for weather, it's some sort of policy or something, which really makes me angry. Even though I live within walking distance, there are many students who don't and some who have long communtes on rural roads (Rolla, MO isn't exactly a big city). I guess it's going to take someone getting killed heading to their 8AM class one morning for them to wise up and change that policy.
