Our cars are covered in ice, the driveway was a bit hard to get out of, but the roads in town seem fine. But apparently up where my college is (40min. North)
it is having an ice storm up there until 9pm tonight and it will not have a chance to melt tomorrow.

We're encased in ice here too thanks to last night's constant drizzle despite it being 15F. Bother. I'm very glad I have tonight off and don't
have to go venturing out in it.

I think freezing rain is neat (as long as I don't have to be out in it) because it is really pretty when it sticks to the trees and signs and everything.
And since I had to go outside to take a few of my finals today I decided to take a few pictures of it as well. I'm posting them so people who live in
warmer climates can see how pretty it is.

Yeah it may look pretty but it's so not fun. Looks like we're gonna get the same here tomorrow.

It's 4:30am, 28 F outside, and pouring down rain.
I am soooo not amused.
I also am hereby cancelling my plans to do laundry this morning. They'll just have to deal with me recycling baker pants tonight.

Yikes, Eni!
Btw, Kat, think you could resize those pictures? The images themselves are now automatically resized by the board (to width 500 px) but the files are still huge (880 KB to 1.4 MB each ) and they take a while to load, even on high speed. For people on dial-up, forget it.

I don't know how to resize the file size....

Do you know how to make the image itself smaller using a program on your computer? That's the easiest way to make the file size smaller, by making the
image itself smaller. (btw, the images are not resizing for me. I don't know if letting the board resize for you is a good idea because it doesn't
always work and it really pushes the margins out far, like it is while I am typing this post--though it look okay and resized in the normal thread when I am
not typing a post)
But for now, just replace these images with the ones you have above; I re-sized them for you: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/ethereal_warrior/kat-snow1.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/ethereal_warrior/kat-snow2.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/ethereal_warrior/kat-snow3.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/ethereal_warrior/kat-snow4.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/ethereal_warrior/kat-snow5.jpg As for snow, I woke up with it today. I really don't like snow. It was not fun going to work on really slow roads with not much traction. I don't like going out in it.

Oh I didn't know making them look smaller made the file size smaller. Thank you for resizing them for me. I wouldn't have let the board resize them if
I knew there would be a problem with the margins. They look fine to be.
Thanks again

Yeah, making the image smaller does reduce filesize.
Yeah, the images seem to view different sometimes. Tell me, when you are posting a reply and you see the previous posts below showing the pictues, do the images NOT look resized to you or do they look resized? They look resized to me in the post when I first open the thread but when I go to make a post, it shows them at original size. And then after I make the post, they're back to normal resized size. I think there's a bit of a flaw in the resizing and I'd probably recommend everyone resize them themselves or put in a width=500 in the HTML code. We should have a Yuku "tips and tricks" sticky post for when we move over to the XOC board for some of the quirky things I've noticed.
ETA, you probably won't be able to test if the size is right now or not because you've changed them out with the images I made. But what I described above is what I have noticed with images in posts, (like check out the Gab or Xena pic threads in the Xena forum--it does it there, too).
