Happy almost spring! Our weekend here in Ottawa was 20 cm of snow and a 3 day ice storm, which was pretty easygoing for winter storms, it was much worse farther south. Years ago, when I was in high school, we had a really bad ice storm that caused a LOT of damage, trees down everywhere, parts of the city were out of power for 2 weeks, in the cold. We got 2 weeks off school though.
Anyway, this page still made me want ice cream.

The air grew colder and Evil stepped back as a swirl of pink floated towards him and froze inches from his foot. He wrinkled his nose at Prozac, “Eww, strawberry.”
Prozac pulled him back as the streams of ice advanced, forming jagged lines across the surface of the ground. “Where’s Crack? It’s time to go!”
Evil’s ears popped up. “Oh! I need help, or a distraction!” He ran around erratically, head down and looking for a smear of green. A glimmer to his right drew his attention and he screwed his face up in concentration. The air wavered and suddenly Evil held a small colander in his right paw. He thrust it over his head in triumph, “I did it!
