And to ICE

“Crush ICE” is right there. Surprised no one’s picked that one up yet.

Crushed ice is great. Crushed ice is also great.

Saw that on someone’s car window here last week. “I like my ice crushed” it said.

Nice.

San Antonio traffic signs said “ICE PREVENTION OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS” at least TxDot understood the assignment.

Rock salt is great for dispersing ice from streets and sidewalks.

Only when launched via 12 gauge. It is more impactfull that way.

Rocks or salt. Rocks because they hurt, and salt because it kills them by dehydrating them through osmosis, drawing water out of their bodies

A water balloon full of saturated brine. This is a standalone sentence that could be totally unrelated to the prior conversation, I just like salty water.

Also unrelated, but wet clothes can be hundreds of times less insulating than dry clothes, so stay dry in the winter storm!

I think it would be safer if we all help to get rid of ice this winter

I’m always happy when my airplane de-ices before takeoff.

Is no one going to point out the dystopian nature of DHS telling FEMA not to warn people about ice while expecting inclement weather because they’re afraid of how it will reflect on ICE’s gestapo tactics?

They could just rebrand the agency so its acronym no longer coincides with something unrelated

Call it the kool kids klub or something
