Throwing Little Thought Pebbles at Your Windshield Since 1996
Snow is now out of the driveway and on top of the lawn. Again. Let’s get with the warm already.
Is it okay if I don’t actually go anywhere today? I don’t feel like driving in a land where I can’t see around corners. I hate big piles of snow at the ends of streets. You’d think I’d be used to it by now.
I decided not to go out tonight. The wind is blowing these gigantic drifts, and leaving some parts of the drive almost bare. Very odd. I just feel if I go out now, I’m going to do all this work and the wind will recreate whatever I’ve blown away. Does it make sense to wait? Sure, I’ll have more to snowblow, but what’s the difference? As long as the damned thing starts, at least then I’ll only be out there dealing with it once, right?
My neighbor Fran has already done his driveway once or twice. I have a good view of his driveway from here. Actually, when the snowcam was on, you could see his house. I saw him shovelling once, and snowblowing once. I wonder if he is just paranoid and can’t handle not having his drive clear. Well, I’ll think about it.
I have the webcam streaming storm video, if you’re interested. I’ve had it on for a couple of hours, and I got an email from a friend letting me know that it was time to wipe the window. You totally couldn’t see anything but the snow sticking to the window. So that gave me an excuse to open the window and let all kinds of precipitation onto the inside sill. Nothing but fun here, folks.
We’ve had a few Cheetohs. Actually, I ate mine with a grilled cheese at lunch. I can’t believe it’s already almost 4:30. I haven’t been out for five hours. I think I might step out while it’s still light and see how heavy this stuff is. Maybe get Junior out for a few minutes too. Well, we don’t have anywhere to go. Oooh, there’s the wind! That’s what makes it bad out. The snow is coming down, but not as bad as I thought. It’s the wind that’s making for ugliness. Well that and the prospect of 12 more hours of this.
