When the freezing rain or drizzle is light and not prolonged, the ice formed is thin. When large quantities accumulate, however, it is one of the most dangerous types of winter hazard. When the ice layer exceeds 0.6 cm (0.25 in), tree limbs with branches heavily coated in ice can break off under the enormous weight. Windy conditions, when present, will exacerbate the damage.
Idle fantasy: i start collecting lockets from antique stores and my collection gets out of hand so i start putting unlikely pairs of images in the lockets and leaving them on public transportation
had to send that temporal exchange student from the 1390s back. nice kid but he kept calling guys moors and spitting on protestants in the street and peeing in a mason jar by his bed and it was just too much. apparently he became a scribe so if you look right now at some marginalia near the end of a couple codices in the fitzwilliam museum he talks shit about me & my wife. check it out, i had a guy send them to me… look quick cause it’ll start fading out any minute. the agency has their guys go back and clean up when stuff like that happens
