Hard DC Snow + Ice Ain’t So Nice
How hard is the ice that covers yesterday’s snowfall in Washington DC? I know its too thick to easily make snowballs, but might the ice be strong enough to walk on?
This morning I tested the snow + ice that covers the front lawn of my apartment building on 16th Street – an ice sheet that covers snow at least four inches deep. So how hard might that ice layer be? Play the video to find out:
Yep, now that’s tough ice. Now don’t you wish it was egg-cooking hot instead?
Wayan, I have you beat. I couldn’t break through in heels.
are those air jordans? they did not help your vertical leap. you only got four inches of air
It was fugly out there when it came to move my car this afternoon! I had to get out the garden handrake and trowel to get the ice from my tires. Seriously, total suckage.
Would be funnier if you had fallen on your ass. The camera would have been at the perfect angle for that.
It took me 20 goddamn minutes to get out of my driveway on my way to class. My car wasn’t heavy enough to break through the ice so I slid the whole way down.
Then when I came home I couldn’t break through it either. Didn’t even leave a dent. There’s about a 2 foot long tire mark and that’s it.
