Set free from cabin fever

icepixieIt snowed, sleeted, and freezing rained last night, changing over to rain sometime early in the morning. The ice from earlier this week is half-melted, many storm drains are blocked, and we are now under a flood watch.
Well done, Nashville.
More pictures from Tuesday (when it was icy and sunny) are on Flickr.
Since the rain had changed everything on the side roads to slush and the main roads were clear (if full of standing water), I was finally able to skate this morning for the first time in over a week. I think B somehow sharpened more rocker into my blades, because I got a good pop off some waltz jumps--the kind that usually takes a lot of effort--without even really thinking about it. I also had more pop off the Salchow.
Not much else changed from the last time. I'm still spinning on my toe pick. Really good checking on my three turn pattern is still a distant dream. Backspin is maybe a bit closer to actually getting all the way around before I bail. P did get me to go about 3/4 of the way around on each lobe of the outside circle 8, which is better than I'd been doing before.
In other news, I may be writing Agent Carter fic that's trying to turn plotty on me, but I don't know enough about the Captain America 'verse to know exactly what to plot. I think it's time to invent a bad guy/bad organization.
