holy fuck

I just had one of the freakiest, scariest experiences of my life - driving through a fucking ICE STORM. IN SYDNEY. WTF???? Sure, we get some really nasty hailstorms, but I'm talking several inches of ice, it looked like fucking snow.

I had to pullover, and my windscreen wipers couldn't move eventually because of the mass of ice. Had to get out, hail/ice still falling, to try and scrape it clear. Chucks are not useful footwear at this point. I've got some photos of my car from once I got home, and I'm sure many photos will turn up of Sydney in this.

I was only a couple of minutes drive from home, but here, only light hail.

I had hoped you'd have made it home - we are just carpetted in ice at the moment. Glad you're safe, anyway.

I'd wished I'd made it home too - way worse than that hail I had to drive through in NZ.
