Another Day-o-Snow

I'm so tired of the snow. Don't get me wrong, I love old man winter. But in the WINTER. We're in Spring, and yet again, I was sent home early because of winter conditions. I guess I should enjoy it though. It's not like I get sent home for Spring or Summer conditions. Only winter. Though I enjoy being home, really...I'm tired of the snow.

I have one concern though that I did not have last time. My lights keep flickering on and off--also my heat, not a good thing!--and when I looked out in my backyard I noticed that there was so much snow and slush on the cable, phone and electric wires. They are hanging down so low that I would literally be about a foot taller to the lowest wire hanging. I think the difference is this winter storm started out a slushie mess and now all that slush is turning to ice as it gets colder this evening.

Jesus, please keep my electric working or I might freeze tonight.

Snow Day: Update 4

Okay, seriously. I've never blogged this much in one day. But, oh well. It's my blog, I'll do what I want. I just thought I would leave one last blog for the day that says....

I just found out I have SNOW DAY pt. 2 tomorrow.

That's right I do!!

Snow Day: Update 3

Lots more Shoveling....
Kate and I thought we would get out and try to shovel that sidewalk again. She was stir crazy and after about 10 minutes she was exhausted. Ha!





Kate Tries to burn down our apartment...
Picture this: i'm sitting in my room and all of a sudden I smell something like a burning chemical. I run into the living room and see smoke. All the while, Kate is sitting in the living room working on her computer, oblivious to the smoke. Ha!! I look over into our kitchen and I see smoke everywhere. I run over to the stove, where Kate thought she had turned on the back burner to make tea. But instead she turned on the front burner which had a skillet and plastic spoon utensil, from her lunch, melting to my indestructible skillet. You know, the skillet from many blog moons ago that she had already somewhat destroyed the lid. Yeah, that one. For your Snow Day viewing pleasure....Here's a little video I took of Kate and the skillet incident...

Snow Day: Update 2

My shoveled sidewalk after more snow and crazy winds....



it's piling up. and more snow is on its way!!

Snow Day: Update

So, I just tried to shovel my sidewalks before the predicted heavy stuff reaches here in a few hours. And I made a good dent in the snow and then all of a sudden...freakin' heavy wind come blowing through and about knocked me over. But more importantly, it blew all of the snow I shoveled back onto the sidewalk in about 7.2 seconds. Pbllhh!



They weren't kidding when they said the wind would cause blizzard like conditions with no visibility.
Sheesh!!

SNOW DAY, indeed!!

the snow is falling and falling and falling. it's not supposed to stop until 6 am tomorrow!!





On my snow day, I think I'll....

a) Rest
b) work on WAC homework
c) watch movies
d) Work on blogs i've been meaning to post
e) all of the above
f) none of the above

I guess we shall see!
