It's the malady that inflicts people when, after a ice/sleet/snow storm cuts power to most of the city and shreds trees to tinder, they go out for a drive. It afflicts people in widely varing manners, typically 4 wheel drive owners develop an irrational belief that 4wd permits their vehicles to corner and decelerate more rapidly. Others become paranoid that their vehicle is possesed by the devil and that it will violently swerve off the road to kill them if they go more than 10 miles an hour. Some form a strange delusion that they have a special visual prowess that allows them to see through ice covered windows.
As you might guess, we've had some really crappy weather, the power was out overnight, but surprisingly our furnace kept working, I guess it must have a battery back-up for the thermostat and valve or something. The cable telephone's battery held out nicely too, although I would have liked to have seen just how long the thing can hold out without AC just out of curiosity.
