Ouch. We call that a blizzard down here.


The weather people didn't expect this. It's still snowing out there.
Probably another 2 inches or more since this morning.

Winter is a pain in the ass.

The last time I enjoyed snowy, cold winter weather was in junior high,
when we sneaked onto the Yale Golf Course for sledding and went ice
skating on the pond in Woodbridge just past the Parkway.

It was even colder out there in Kansas when I hoofed it two miles in the
snow, wind, and ice to that 8 am freshman physics class. Walking past
the campus nuclear reactor didn't help, and the Pi Phi girls didn't
invite me in for hot chocolate. That north wind would blow across
the eastern prairie with nothing to stop it.

Armageddon or nuclear winter here. ;-)
I did have to put on a T shirt to run with Deuce at 0600 tho. It was
probably close to 60 give or take but the wind was ~15 out of the
north up on FPL. That tends to be a wind tunnel if the wind comes from
the right way.

We got a bit more than that. Neighbour on corner was already around with his snowblower and promises to be back to do our driveway to the street after the plows have done their duty.

Why don’t you do the snow removal? Scared you will fall down? To cheap
to hire it done?

I want to but the neighbours insist. Who am I to stop them?
BTW..looked out the window and the guy on the corner was clearing my driveway with his snowblower when the guy who owns the place just north of him came up with his big Heavy Duty Ranch King truck and started to plow a hard spot. It would be dangerous for me to get out between the two of them with my scoop.

That sounds more like hot toddy or mulled wine weather.
I do see more sales on Moosehead and Molsons down here at this time of
year eh!
