the snow and a pictures

We got snow. Quite a bit of it. Enough to call off school but then anymore they call off school for snow flurries so that doesn't show you how much snow we got. Maybe 3 inches or so which is a nice chunk to get in one falling.

The roads were pretty bad last night. We were stupid to still go to turbo kick but we went anyways. 4-wheel drive and driving slow. It was a good work out (turbo, not the driving) AND you all will be happy to know that I drank eight 8 oz glasses of water yesterday!! feel free to pat me on the back.

Ok, back to the snow.

It's a whopping -1º out there right now. It's nice having a heated garage.... until I go to leave work. Brrr that's cold.

I hope the neighbor guy is really nice and plows our driveway. We sold our plow b/c it won't work on the rhino and we haven't bought a new one yet... that'll be on the list for next year I suppose.

So the neighbor kid who is just 16 and drives way to fast in dry weather let alone snowy - ended up in the ditch yesterday. *not that I'm one to talk about driving fast* It's a pretty dandy of a ditch and I bet it scared the crap out of him. I bet he drives a bit slower too.

soiled: yea but you've had more than us before I'm sure. this isn't a normal snow for us lol! global warming and all that you know.

cawfee: you're to far south. well i suppose not to far I mean columbus got a nice dump of snow too. Really, you guys should move up to Columbus. you'd be closer.

That's awesome about the water!! Now you just have to keep doing it. I am struggling too.. But I worked up such a sweat this morning it's been easier. I don't know how you all deal with the snow. Seriously..

green: I would hate life without snow. Don't get me wrong, come March I'll be craving warmth and sunshine but I love snow, I love the crisp cold when you walk outside...
honestly we don't get snow like we did when i was a kid (do I sound like my mom or what?!). I would rather drive in snow than rain. Now I don't know that you'd catch me living in Alaska or Canada or somewhere that gets more snow for longer periods of time. I remember LoupyLou was posting snow pictures and I was mowing the grass. Now that's snow I couldn't deal with.

lunamor: If it's going to be cold then it better be snowing. 80º and snow would be better but I don't think that's a possibility.
I like the drasticness of our seasons compared to say your seasons. ya know.

Bone crunching cold, but what scenery that is. Looks so quiet and serene.

I actually drink my 8 glasses of water every day. Ok I sometime come up a bit short on the weekends, but generally I'm pretty close. At first, you pee a lot!!!!!! But when you get used to it, you actually start to feel really good from it. Good job!

pleiades said...

yay for your water.
i think you're crazy that you would rather drive in snow than rain. those are pretty pictures and glad your neighbor wasn't hurt.

Hehehe, see, I love the mild climate here. The coldest it gets (usually) is in the 20s at night; we bitch a lot if we have a day here and there that doesn't have a high of over 45.

doanli: yea that's pretty cold for us. I like cold but not negative number cold.

silvertag: I'm kinda tired of peeing so much. I pee a lot anyways. I've done 2 days with eight glasses so I've done good so far. yay me.

sis: i hate to drive in rain especially at night.

lunamor: I think I'd really miss the snow/seasonal change. Is it possible to be 45 and snow?

Lunamor said...

It might be, I dunno, but I know it wouldn't stick.

I like our snows - usually they are fast, heavy, wet, and melt by noon :D
