The weather outside is frightful

[greatbear]

It appears that the "minor snow event" of about 1 to 3 inches has decided to get comfortable and hang around for a while. There's at least six or seven inches out there now, and it's still coming down. So, instead of a little bit of time spent with a snow shovel tomorrow, out comes By-Tor the Snow Blower for some snow-flinging fun.

Oh, joy. The trend where each occurrence of of snow precipitation is a measurable (read: shovelable or snowblowerable) continues. Usually we get lots of flurries and dusting with an occasional notable accumulation. Not this winter. Oh, well, at least it's not in the middle of the week where I am stuck going to work amidst the mess. In the meantime, I am getting socked with cabin fever. It's not all bad, the house is toasty warm via the woodstove, and I got lots of time to put towards little chores as well as geeky pursuits. I am just so over winter right now. Bring on the Spring.

Woo, Rush reference :)

Our snow is where it should be, several miles up the mountains, to function as scenery.

You're welcome to this stuff anytime. ;)

Not any snow here in Dallas, but I am sick of Winter as well - and WET! We had something like 5 inches of rain with this storm and each rain continues to keep me out of the nature preserve and hiking. I have not been out there since I took my fall colors photos...

Between bad weather and bad health, I've been stuck in the house more often than ever lately, and it's taking a toll on my well being. :-/

I actually have two. By-Tor and Snow Dog.



Though I might be able to get the snow cleared out quickly, I am never in a rush. :-D

What is this word "snow"?

* ducking *

[greatbearmd.livejournal.com]

It's a four-letter word that starts with "s". like SLAP. ;)

You own 2 snowblowers and heat with a woodstove??? ...in Maryland???

Surely you must be from the Great Frozen North!!

Come visit!
We can walk to the zoo.

Although, it's been a bit cold for us too.
I almost had to wear long pants today. :)

Work becomes a different kind of hell when it's this slow and the operators get cabin fever...BUT FUG EM!... Come for a visit....can only can ya smoke a fag, but you can also marry one (I love that line)....and even tho we're in the middle of a 2 week cold spell...there's no damn snow!

It's been mostly very cold here.. tonight's low is to be about
15 or so.

It snowed about 3 fourths of an ich yesterday; the bright sun melted that
all away by dusk tonight.

Makes me wonder just how hot and humid it'll be in six months from now.

I need me one of those weather control machines, like John Houseman used
in that 3 part episode of The Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman called " Kill Oscar."

I'd set it to sunny and 83 degrees in the day, and 60 degrees every night!
