Ice, Wind, and Rain (sounds like a Rock Band)

So I now have seen pelting rain in Anchorage - it was actually wet!   Last night after the concert it was so icy (from the actual rain we had, which froze) it took more than 10 tries to get into the garage.  I finally decided just to leave the van outdoors since I knew I'd leave first in the morning, but each time I put her in park and applied the brake, she just slid back into the street.  The last time, I was able to get far enough up to grab the one bit of bare asphalt with one wheel, and she went into the garage.  After church today, I fell on the ice going to the car - didn't have boots on due to the warm temps (meaning over 32) and playing piano in church...mistake!   It hurts, but I'll live.  The craziest thing was the 100 mph winds last night.  Yes, that is 2 zeros.  Hurricane force.  Many lost power, many lost parts of roofs and other things.  Glad I wasn't sleeping in the van as I'd planned - who knows where I would have found myself this morning!  Just when one thinks things are getting a bit  ho-hum, SURPRISE!!!     (oh, sunrise 9:50, sunset 3:49)
