A late-night light snow froze overnight in Cleveland, creating clumps on the driveways, streets, and sidewalks. You could hear your footsteps crunch in the clear, cold air this morning.
Why is it that in the last couple days, the laws of physics have been routinely ignored by speeding big-rig drivers on Dead Man's Curve, causing them to tip over and tie up traffic for hours?
When we read traffic reports, we're essentially sight-reading a sort of code which we receive from Metro Networks' website.
An overnight report from the 5 a.m. hour contained this at the end of a sentence reporting slippery roads but no accidents: "Nothing is working in the city." I think they meant that there were no accidents so far, but upon reflection, maybe they were on to something.
