Baby, It's Cold Outside!

image

It has been snowing for most of the day. We are supposed to get almost a foot of snow. Surprsingly, I am not all that bothered by it. It might be because I didn't have to work today or early tomorrow morning. That means I didn't have to drive in it. I did have the Trivial Pursuit gang at the local library this morning, but we were done around noon, and thtat was quite a bit before the start of the storm.

According to the predictions, the worst of the storm is about done. It is supposed to keep snowing until about 7:00 am, but it is going to be transitioning into showers rather than the heavier snowfall. I snuck out the front door and did a quick measure, and it is as deep as my hand up to the wrist. i was too lazy to find a ruler so I can't get a more accurate measurement.

It will probably mean a couple of hours of shoveling in the morning to clear out the driveway and walkways, but it does look really pretty. I am guessing that my Sunday shift in the old library will end up being slow, at least for the early portion since that usually happens after a storm like this. I won't have to be in until 12:30 pm, though so I am guessing I probably won't have a problem with getting in.

The really great thing about the storm is It pretty much made me sit back, relax and do nothing but read and watch TV all day. Sounds good to me! It did kill any chance I was hoping to have to see The Hobbit, though. Oh, well! I still feel really rested up now.

I basically spent the day with Jack, Janet, Chrissy, and the Ropers.

Worse than I thought--we only had a high of 68 degrees--I may have to come up to RI to warm up--NOT!

The storm is over here too, but the flurries continue... winter is back to normal after it passed us by last year.

Happy New Year!

You are right about that. I am hoping we don't have another winter like a couple of years ago when we were getting about a foot every few years.

Snow is great if you don't have to shovel it or drive in it. Glad you could nestle in and enjoy it for a bit!

I totally agree. it took about 2 hours for the two of us to shovel out the driveway and walkways. The piles at the end of our driveway and base of our walkway stairs is up to my chin when I am standing up.

We have water skiing, scuba diving, hot numbers on the beach (from RI & NH) in Speedos--no scraping ice off windshields or shoveling snow or slipping and sliding on ice--so there!

I am with you, Fredo. I really like the change of seasons. I am fine with a good snow storm as long as we don't get hammered every few days with them.

It's getting cold here, too--only 83 degrees today!!!! Brrrrrrrr
Hey that's why I live down here and wait for winter so I can send nasty comments like I just did!!!!
comment by greatmartin on Dec 29, 2012 8:28 PM ()
LOL! You crack me up, Martin! I do have to admit that I get uncomfortable when it gets to far above 75. I did get a great workout this morning after shoveling for about 2 hours with Ray.
