[QUOTE="Lil, post: 730845, member: 17309"] LOL! At the time, yes, it really was. Now I look back on it and picture my fat butt sliding down the hill and I find it funny! I guess time heals. The worst part was I was all alone! I couldn't yell for help, there was no one to help me within voice range; no boats on the lake in winter, no people in the condos. I was really alone. But it could have been so much worse. I mean, it's not like I was hanging on a cliff edge, though the car could easily have gone over one heck of a drop and I could well have ended up in the lake...and there actually [I]were[/I] a lot of people that slid into the lake itself during that storm. I remember a story of an elderly lady who slid down the hill into the lake. Her husband rigged up some ropes, got to the water and got her out. When they got to the house, he let go of her to open the door and...yep...back into the lake she went. She broke an ankle and the ambulance couldn't get thru so they made her walk out in a splint! Poor lady! A fellow attorney's secretary went over a retaining wall, broke her leg but landed on bank, not in the water. You couldn't buy a pair of golf shoes - they sold out because the cleats were so useful on the ice. I really do hate ice to this day. and [USER=16024]@AppleCori[/USER] 's last story was TERRIFYING! OMG! [/QUOTE]
