On Notice.. (Update)

I am creating this blog to draw attention to the newest member of my On Notice list....Mother Nature. On Saturday it was 45 degrees, a beautiful day for mid-December. At night it started to rain, but at least it wasn't cold. Then 6 hours later when I awoke on Sunday it was down to 15 degrees. It fell 30 degrees in 6-10 hours! Since it had been raining all night and now was freezing, there was a nice lick layer of ice everywhere on Sunday morning, including my car. All my doors were iced-frozen shut and I could not open any of them. I had to open my trunk and climb into my car, a task may extra difficult due to the "contents" of my trunk (wink wink). Mother Nature was also to blame for the horrific Packers' game and thus many northern-Wisconsin housewives feeling the wrath of their drunken-husbands. The Packers losing is one thing, but that was just a horrific game to watch. Shame on you Mother Nature, you are officially on notice.

(UPDATE)
It turns out that the ice actually broke my driver's side door handle. I can now unlock the door but when I lift the handle nothing happens, the ice broke it by dislodging it from something inside the door. So now I cannot enter my car from the driver's side, real classy. That's already 2 strike Mother Nature, one more and you are dead to me.

Just keep the window rolled down, Duke Boys style.
