The Blue Danube would go well with that, Becky.
It reminds me of a Christmas some years back, when I lived in Germany.
I picked my wife up from hospital in the afternoon of Christmas Eve.
It was raining, and the rain was turning to black ice as I drove home.
The rain turned to snow overnight.
By the morning there were several inches of snow over the ice.
Where we lived there was a very slight incline on the street leading to the main road.
Could I get the car up the road? No way.
I tried a higher gear and very gentle acceleration, but no, the wheels just spun.
I rang two different local taxi companies, but "Nein!" they said. "Ve vill not come out ven ze vezer iss zo terrible!"
(Their spoken English was much better than my German!)
So we couldn't go to my wife's parents for Christmas. No Christmas goose for us that year.
Later on, after Christmas, the temperature dropped to -15 degrees C. (I'm guessing that's around 0 Fahrenheit, isn't it?)
Whatever, it was just a little cool.
