Day 40, Baktun 14

Freezing rain in my neighborhood. Perhaps the end of the 13th Baktun wrought more changes that I thought. Regardless, the strange weather seems to have sparked an all out war. Driver-less, and perhaps more importantly with no real reason to park, the icy roads were a full-blown cataclysm for the Cars (though, honestly, would things have been any better with drivers?). In the confusion, the Guns elected to strike--it seems unlikely they were able to plan anything, more likely one saw the opportunity and chose to strike, even more likely one simply wanted to shoot. While the Guns were able to exploit the chaos early on and achieve a few small victories, they remain disorganized, and the Cars have rallied, even managing to recruit some city plows for salting. A stalemate is quickly replacing the precarious tension, with both sides dwindled only slightly. Can I find some way to keep this war hot enough that both factions truly damage each other? It seems unfair to exploit the confusion and bad luck of these new societies, yet at the same time, I have to do what I must to survive.
