      Lane closures... freezing fog causing problems, become whidespread, after midnight , reducing visibility and here´s The Sound, New Dark Ages.
      That escalated quickly

      @Roy Szweda It is, isn't it?
      Can't stop hearing "Missiles" in my head, from Jeopardy.
      Who the hell makes those missiles?
      When they know what they can do
      Missiles cause damage
      And make an eerie sound
      Missiles leave carnage
      Where there once was a town
      Who the hell makes those missiles?
      And also "New Dark Age", like all my childhood nightmares have arrived in the present, yes...
