okay, so we only got about 5 or 6 inches, and a layer of ice inbetween snows. my girlfriend from Arizona is in town, and we all were out there at midnight sledding down the little hill in my backyard and having a snowball fight. That lasted all of 12 minutes. haha! I just wonder what the roads are like.

No, a few inches is usually the norm, but it seems early this year.

We got a mix yesterday ending with rain. Stupid me did not shovel last night (in the rain) and now I think I'm iced in. Maybe the sun will soften the snow a bit. The street here is double-laned so there is a huge snow bank (ice bank) in my driveway. It sucks! But I do love the wintry landscape, it's beautiful. And with all the Christmas lights people have up it looks magical at night.

On edit: A neighbor who has a plow came by and offered to plow it for me. Well, not for free of course! He saw me out there trying to chop at the ice bank and took pity on me. Lol. I saw an elderly man trying to shovel out his ice bank on my way into the office.

I hate shoveling. My neighbor used to come plow my drive and I wouldn't even know it until he was done. Now his wife is a bitch, and he don't plow for me anymore, but that's okay. I shoveled a little, and shoveled my neighbors... she's older but not elderly. Too old to be out there shoveling by herself. What a crappy chore.

It's really hard, isn't it? I did the whole thing myself last week. Well, a neighbor did come by and helped me with the last of it which was good, I was running out of steam. At one point I was trying to keep shoveling and my arms just would not move. When the neighbor came, I couldnt take as many breaks because he was working so hard. And when we finished I vomitted! That has never happened to me before. So yeah, from now on my neighbor down the street will be plowing my driveway for me. I feel for you having to shovel Maria, it sucks!
