Winter in Ottawa

[DHBirr]

I've already mentioned this at least once on the forum (sorry for harping on it), but since Ebony brought it up, I was at Fort Hood (mid-Texas) during an ice storm in the mid-'90s.  Two separate days, it deposited roughly half to three-quarters of an inch of ice on the door of my car (driver's-side door; my fault the second time for not parking facing the other way) which had to be chipped off before I could get into the vehicle.  I grew up in Michigan, but this particular ice storm, or set of ice storms, was scary even by northern standards.  When you add that most of the Texans clearly had little notion of how to drive in such weather ("...everyone forgets how to drive..."), it got terrifying.  Fort Hood, a major U.S. military installation, was almost completely shut down.
Edit: apology deserved; supplied
