It looks like we got a couple o' inches worth of that frozen white shit last evening:
I always used to enjoy the season's first snowfall when I lived Up Nawth, to a certain extent. By that I mean the enjoyment lasted until I had to get out in that crap and drive somewhere. The best of all possible worlds was when the first storm hit on the weekend and I could build a roaring blaze in the fireplace, sit curled up on the couch with my woman and sip on a toddy or two while staring out the window at a semi-magical transformation. Today we have neither fireplace nor woman and the neighborhood ain't quite as "transformed" as those o' years past. It's a much lesser experience, these days.
OTOH we DO have toddies and we don't have to get out and drive in this krep. Thank The Deity At Hand for small favors.

| That big-ass blob covering central OK and stretching down to Dallas is the culprit. |

I assume (using that word as it was meant to be used) the "SS" does not mean snow sled.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the snow ...when it is somewhere else.
... the "SS" does not mean snow sled.
DeleteMost definitely not. That was a big-ass, heavy, rear-wheel-drive auto-mo-sheen. That said, I'm pretty sure that's the only time I got stuck in it, and that was mainly coz the entrance to my driveway was on a downhill slope and I slid into a snow bank while turning in to the drive. It's hard to tell from the picture, but that's about a four-foot snowbank to the left of the car as you look at it. I had to call a tow truck to pull me out.
HA! Lake effect snow and we aint got none! It kind of hops over us like the HF skip distance or skip zone, never could remember which was which. We seem to top out at no more than 6 inches at a time. But Rochester? We heard about Rochester.
ReplyDeleteBuffalo is MUCH worse than Rochester, Curtis. But you're right; we did get some snow in Ra-cha-cha.
DeleteOh my goodness, Heaven's-to-Betsies!
ReplyDeleteIn Little Rhody it was downright cold with a billion-knot wind on Sunday...
But it was dry Comrade, it was dry.
I though Portales was in New Mexico, not Kamchatka!
Um, "thought", the word was "thought". (Even though I spelled it wrong...)
DeleteOne DOES wonder about the geography. We're over 32 degrees this morning for the first time in 60 hours but it ain't supposed to get over 37. Aiiieee.
DeleteMake that 40... I just looked.
