Bad luck usually cost money and today was no exception. We had to go to the clinic for a medical check up this morning. Still without water, this being the fifth day, we looked out and saw that it was raining. We thought the thaw was on its way with this. As we stepped outside, there was no such thaw, the rain turned into ice directly it hit the ground. Looking at the Lada, it was caked in 1/2 cm of solid ice all over, the door stuck fast and jammed. The road were also pure ice, no chance of driving anywhere on this road. We had to slid our way to a main road that had been gritted and got a taxi to the clinic and back.
