Unfortunately, where I am they’re talking about a brief period of snow followed by an ice-storm. Slick streets, downed power lines, no way to make decent forts out of it. I’d much rather have snow…

Bite your tongue!!
The transaxle on my tractor/snow-thrower just died and I have a 140 foot long driveway. The new tranny won’t be here for several days and I won’t have time to install it until next Saturday anyway.
If you really like it all that much, come on over, I have an extra snow shovel.
It’s beautiful, isn’t it? I’m looking out my living room window right now and loving it! Yeah, this was supposed to be sleet by now, but sure looks like snow to me! I’m only hoping this gets me out of going to work tomorrow.
I’ve been outside doing the naked pagan snow-dance, myself. It would not hurt my feelings a bit if the beginning of the semester was delayed by a day or so.
We’re expecting another 6-8 inches of snow before tomorrow afternoon, so I’m actually excited too. I don’t plow it or drive in it, so what the heck. I’ll make snowpeople and be happy!

Love is like popsicles…you get too much you get too high.
If this keeps up, there’s a pretty strong chance Karen will get stuck spending the night at work. That’ll be twice in one week. sigh
[SALUTE] To any and all nurses, particularily Karen, you guys are some of the hardest working, dedicated, under-appreciated people out there. [/SALUTE]
So much for our super bowl party plans. Oh well.
Still trying to think of something witty to say here
We got 4.5 in, enough to sled. Had to go to K Mart to get new snow boots for the kiddos. The snow may last until monday afternoon, so they may get 3 days out of it.
We’ve been promised a foot tomorrow, and we’re due, dammit. What’s the good of living in the mountains when you get less snow than Raleigh, NC? And what there is, is so poorly bonded that it’s dangerous out there.
Dammit, I hate you guys. Send some of that stuff down here to Louisiana. It’s almost cold enough. Pleeeeeaaase? I’ll pay postage. Just bring it down and dump it all over the streets so I don’t have to go to work.

George Papoon said: What, you don’t keep an extra electric snow shovel around for emergencies like that?
An electric snow shovel won’t hack it. Not with a driveway that long and the amount of snow we get here in the NE. I have to keep an extra $35 around for the guy with the plow that I have to call.
Of course if OpalCat who loves and desires the white stuff came over to use that extra shovel I have, I could save the $35.
By the way OpalCat, we got 5 inches last night with more on the way.
Lucretia - We need pictures, dear. A description just won’t do.
You could come down here to Georgia where we’ve had back-to-back weekend ice storms and do your “naked pagan lying prone on her sore butt and slowly sliding downhill” dance.
