Yesterday, I turned on the radio in the middle of a newscast in which the announcer said, "The college was closed today due to ice." I didn't know which college he was referencing, so I held my breath. Then, he elaborated on the Winter storm conditions in much of the country, and I exhaled.
If it hadn't been for that follow-up, one could have thought that the newscaster meant ICE instead of ice.
What a harrowing time in which we live now.
