Snowing

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I have never seen snow.

You make me sick to my stomach. 

I make myself sick to my stomach.

My old man has always hated the snow.  That's the number one reason he left New York City for sunny L.A..  And he never took me.   

But come this winter, a bunch of friends and I are going to rent a cabin out in Big Bear for the weekend and go snowboarding.  I can't wait!  I've waited my whole life to play in the snow.

Snowball fights.

Making snow angels and snowmen/women.

And sitting in front of the fireplace with a special someone with a cup of hot chocolate, marshmallows optional.

Snow is great on my terms only.

Living in it is something else entirely, although I still don't mind it that bad.

[western_chaos]

Yes, I walk a mile to work each day and I'm getting more and more used to this stuff. It brings such a sense of adventure with it.

When I was 20 I had a job wrapping firewood. We'd unload a huge truck, then pile up the wood for the guy who would cut it down. There was this medieval looking hand operated "machine" to place the wood in so you could create the bundle. At the bottom was a roll of large plastic wrap. You'd place a few pieces in, wrap the plastic around twice, then throw in a flyer and do another wrap around. When you were done with that, you'd staple in the handles. I think I got paid 10-20 cents a bundle or something.

I walked to that job, often in the snow and remember one morning it was 9 degrees. So cold, but doing that kind of work, I was down to my flannel, and then had that wrapped around my waist within an hour or so. I kind of enjoyed it in a way...but not really.

Yes!! Snow here in Wa state as well, started Friday and by Sunday around 5 inches at my house, absolutely bitter cold, about 18 degrees at 7 pm, its now 10 pm and I don't know, havent been driving cuz i'm chickens shit in the ice lol.

[western_chaos]

LOL. I'm scared of the ice as well. there is currently wide-spread panic across the nation over winter weather that has come on suddenly.

We had to shut down one of our freight centers because there was three inches of ice on the streets.

Still snowing here, I haven't seen so much snow since i don't know when, it is absolutely beautiful.  You have to understand I live in the woods, with basically no neighbors, it is pretty much about us and nature, really it's breathtaking!!! Will put a picture up later.

Yesterday was my first outing since Sunday, my husband does all the driving, he is not bothered at all by the weather and is a great driver in it, while I am nothing except white knuckled, so I just stay pretty close to home. Took keys away from daughter who is 18, has no real experience and drives a mustang, she had a royal fit in the beginning   but seems to understand now, and by the way, yes she is 18, but mummy and daddy own the vehicle she drives. ( Ha gotcha).

All we've got is a Frosted Flakes like coating.  Mostly sleet, so far, which really sucks since it's dangerous as a MF.

Yeah, life sucks does it. LOL.

We had a huge snow-storm today but finally stoped an hour ago. But, we probably got 6-8 inches today.

The rest of the weekend is supposed to be just 1-2 inches more.

Are you on the east coast?  I just shoveled the driveway a couple hours ago.  What fun!  We're supposed to get another messy storm with a wintry mix on Sunday, and then another possible storm on X-Mas eve.  Looks like it'll be a White Christmas for sure.
