MWARH! Precipitation!

Who's brilliant idea was it to make ice clear? Huh? Who said, "Hey guys! I know ice is hazardous and everything, but wouldn't it just be HILARIOUS if we made it invisible to the human eye!?" I mean, it's not even the falling on your butt part that makes it annoying. Sure it hurts, but only for a minute. What really bothers me is how incredibly stupid you look when you realize you've lost all traction and you're about to plunge to your doom. Your face kind of contorts and your arms start flailing around as if you're having some sort of fit. It's so humbling, in fact, that when it happens in front of a group of people I actually hope that I hit the ground hard because then people will be too busy worrying about my health to laugh at me! If you catch your balance after slipping your only option is to face that two seconds of silence before people bust out laughing at your funny face and silly movements. If anyone has any information regarding the person who made ice all the more treacherous, I would appreciate it if you would come forward as soon as possible. Thank you.
I really need to put gas in my car. Like, desperately. I'm avoiding it though because there's quite a bit of STUPID SNOW AND ICE on my car and it takes forever to warm up. MWARH! Again with the darn precipitation! Oh, that reminds me of my recent puddle incident! Walking home from Serendipity (of course) I quite acrobatically (or so I thought) tried to avoid a drift of snow by stepping instead on WHAT I THOUGHT was a dry spot. Fail. It was a puddle of newly melted ice and snow and because water is also I clear I did not realize this until my foot was completely immersed in freezing cold water and my sock was soaked through. Basically the rest of my walk consisted of "step, squish, step, squish, step, squish." My life is average. And my foot was cold.
