Epic Mess

It is a mess of epic proportions in New York City today. The snow has turned to rain, and that's not good. I'm wet from head to toe. Crossing the street literally requires a leap. I'm just wondering if a running start would help clear the ankle-deep water? Maybe I'll try it on the way home. On second thought - maybe not. I seem to recall an incident with some hurdles in 7th grade track. It didn't go well.
