Freezing Rain Is Funny (Sometimes)

Woman on the sidewalk in Kiev recently during her epic
battle with freezing rain

 There's a minimal amount of freezing rain in the Vermont forecast tonight. 

It will be very light, and confined to cold hollows. Most of us will be fine. 

But a little dab will do ya, so they say. Which leads us to a viral video from Kiev, Ukraine. 

Recently, they had some freezing rain, enough to coat city streets and sidewalks in a treacherous sheet of ice.  The city was paralyzed because the roads were glare ice. Flights were also canceled

Pretty much everybody in Kiev had trouble with the freezing rain,  but especially the woman wearing the backpack in the video below.  We have a speeded up version of her long struggle with a small, but extremely slick incline on a sidewalk.  One guy tries to help her, but gives up in despair. 

After a long struggle, the woman with the backpack seems to give up, too.

Maybe I shouldn't laugh, as we've all had struggles with slipping and sliding. And one can get hurt falling on it.  The woman appears to be uninjured though.

Watch the video below for yourself. As always in this blog, click on the YouTube logo on it, to watch it on that platform, where it will be bigger and easier to view.

All this video is lacking is a Yakity Sax soundtrack:
