WAIT...did you say *again?* Our blizzard from Christmas never left for a second and only softened enough for one day to get really snotty and get a bunch of folks stuck (it was still 10" deep).
I still stand by it: if it has to be cold, it may as well be white...
(prepare for intense, screechy whining)
...but WHY, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY does it have to be so stabby cold?? Whyohwhy????
still 10" deep?????
christmas day we decided to drive down the road and help my mother-in-law get her driveway cleaned up before everyone arrived to exchange gifts and i plowed straight into a drift that came over the hood of my truck! I swear that thing had to have been at least 4 feet tall....didn't think it was that big or i woulda hit the brakes instead of the gas...."luckily" we had shovels since we were heading to remove snow anyway....unfortunately, it was so windy that it still took an hour to get unstuck.
lesson learned....there's no reason to leave the house during a blizzard if you already have beer in the fridge!
Well, it was 10" deep with a ruler after a day of melting. We had the 4' drifts here, too, and the whole town acted like it was a nuclear Winter to hear the way they carried on!
I think our official snowfall was 14" Christmas and the next day, then another 4", and 3" yesterday and today. It's not the end of the world, but I swear everyone here is acting like it hasn't ever snowed this much before.
I did get stuck, but it's because I drive a low-slung Grandma car and think I'm still a Jeep owner...I never remember it's not always the driver but sometimes the car that makes the difference!
I have a knee-high path to the back coops and have lost my balance a few times and tipped over while carrying too much Rachel Ray style...that looks funny!!
