Sounds very exciting and a brilliant backdrop to a board game! Yes, making memories instead of making enemies and murdering brain cells - excellent!
An ice storm is not as exciting as it sounds, Lump, especially when you live in a place that loses it's marbles when any bit of any type of precipitation hits the roads. I'm in Dallas and basically the city shuts down. Fun to miss school and work but it's not like you can go out & play in it. Plus there's the danger of power outages & such. It doesn't happen too terribly often but when it does it sucks. Right now they're predicting it which is enough for a run on things at the grocery store. As I was leaving the store it was insane!! I know my fellow country-men to the north who are used to having actual winters laugh at us but would agree that snow beats ice any day.
