Came out at 1:15 am from seeing Rogue One. The streets are wet snow that has been packed down, barely melted, polished smooth and glossy by tires, and refrozen. You could skate on them, if you had ice skates. Very slick, hard to walk on, even with full snow tires I took the long way around the hills on our way home.

A friend got off work at midnight downtown, all buses stopped running long before the end of scheduled service, he was walking about three miles home, so we went and got him half way. Last night a friend stayed at my house because she couldnt get her car home, that car and another abandoned car are still at my house. Last weekend, during the ice, a lady who was babysitting my neighbors' kid got herself and the kid locked out of the house and they spent several hours ay my house until the parents got home. My son and his dance teachers are all performing in a Nutcracker ballet this weekend, we've been driving them in the Prius because I won't let my son drive on this and the teachers' car can't get around. Chome to think of it, that car is abandoned at my house too. It's been a weird week.
