Yes, another ‘weather’ post.

     They didn’t get our street cleared of snow yesterday, instead they changed the no parking this street signs to today.  We’ll see what happens.  I for one would not be unhappy to wake to the noise of snowplows on our street.

     We’ve sort of kept count and there have been over 20 cars stuck in the snow and ice out front over the last few days.  If you don’t have to, don’t drive down our street!  <Giggle>  I even canceled my dentist appointment because the street is THAT bad.

     Listening to another car spinning its tires out front.  Really?  You haven’t heard how bad this street is?

And…yes, you got it! Another day of snow.

I have just two words for tonight…

More snow…

More snow…shoot me now.

     You notice I don’t complain about the weather when it is warm.  This is because I find winter miserable. and I actually enjoy warm weather.

     A tropical beach paradise would be ideal for me, but not for The Curmudgeon.  Damned shame that MS patients do not do well in the heat…and yet he keeps the furnace cranking all winter at melt down levels.

     I think this calls for another chocolate martini…

Day 38…

Day 38, I haven’t killed them yet.  The snow is not melting and it has a thick ice covering thus effectively trapping us all.  Clear daggers of frozen beauty hanging from the roofs could work as weapons.  The evidence would melt away once the deed is done.

Is there no end to this winter?

     My goodness I really don’t know what we’d do without the woman who clears our walks and driveway.  Arlene was here yesterday in the ugliest of weather and cleared the nasty, icy snow away.  She’s a real gem.

     Two more storms are  heading our way. (Sob) I need a beach.

     Spring, can you hear us pleading for you to arrive?

     Speaking of Spring, I’ll be needing volunteers to help fill in the pond, level the yard, build raised beds, and transplant flowers… *Watching people scatter in the opposite direction.  Yeah, I thought not.

Hard to believe it, but even more snow is falling.

     NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

     Yes, cabin fever.  I want to go out, but there’s nowhere I really need to go and people drive like idiots in this weather.  I love my van too much to risk it for a get out of the house jaunt.

     Couldn’t believe the car I heard go down the street last night.  No one should drive that fast on ice and snow.

     Oh, now it is snow and sleet. I think it is time for a chocolate martini.  Anything to help deal with cabin fever, The Curmudgeon, and two whacked out dogs.

Longest month of the year

Goodbye January.  Good riddance to you!  Never have I been so glad to see a month end.

From here on in the weather should begin to improve.  Barring any more polar vortexes.  Let us please bar them, ban them, or whatever.

I doubt putting signs at the Canadian border ‘No polar vortexes past this point’ will work.  We can only wish, right?

Salted and battery?

     This is the second time my van wouldn’t start in the bitter cold.  I think I need a better battery.  Heck, I don’t start well in this cold.  I need several cups …er pots of coffee to get me going.

     At least the driveway and sidewalk are clear and salted.  Thank you Arlene.  When I get up in the daylight, I’ll try to clear off the van and see about starting it again. 

     That’s enough winter thank you very much.

     You all have a good one and keep warm!
