On the Way Home Last Night 1/10/14

The vice of winter slackened as the week went on, only to be replaced by driving rain Friday afternoon and evening. As the ground was still frozen and the water had nowhere to go, this turned sidewalks into moats, curbs into rivers and intersections into lakes of gray/brown slush. The sizable "puddle" above started at the junction of avenue and alley and stretched to the middle of the street. Fuck pedestrians--cars could barely get by.
