Well. Winter is certainly here. Our north/south highway has been closed since Saturday. For a few days the highway that heads inland was closed also, as was every damn road in the County. They can't even get the shift crews in and out of the power plant just north of town. Apparently the weekend crew got stuck in for 48 hours, working 4 hours on, 4 hours off.

Our front door blew open this morning just before the medium sized boy and I got up... I really should have gotten up right away when I heard the dog bark. Everything in the front hall was covered in snow! Not a dusting, but a couple of centimeters. I actually used a shovel to clean up the hall.

Brrr. Another good day to curl up with my homework, throw the kids out to build snow forts (too cold to make snowmen stick together properly) and curl up with hot soup and movies later.

Oh my! :O This little southern gal can't quite comprehend having to shovel snow out of your house. Stay warm! *hugs*


would you hate me if I said it was 75 degrees here right now?

I think the only thing I would really hate would be someone trying to convince me to drive out of town.

75 - that's like, warm, in Celsius, right?

Warm enough to wear shorts. *has no idea what the conversion is* People generally start complaining about the heat at around 85-90.

*sighs* I remember shorts.

Actually, like a lot of people I know, I think I would go crazy if I had to live too long without a "proper" winter.

I'm off to wrap myself in several layers of wool, and go to the church and the post office.

Have a wonderful evening, honey, hot soup and movies sounds lovely =)

Well, eventually it turned into pizza and a late night staff meeting with much gnashing of teeth.

*sigh*

so you weren't jokin' when you said the roads were closed! gotta love the lake effect no? it's cold as hell here but the snow's not too bad, we're far enough from the lakes to not be too bothered. the wind is absolutely killer though. hope it gets better soon!

wish i could spend the rest of winter inside curled up with a good book...*shivers*

mailing book tomorrow!!! :)
