Snow .... again!
|
Snow isn't one of those weather phenomenons that happens a lot in this area...usually. But here we are with our 5th snow in the last 6 weeks (maybe less). I'm home from work since I can't get up the road that leads out of our driveway. I thought I was gonna make it this time, since I got up the worst part of it then slid into the bushes when cresting the smallest hill. That was it, if I can't get up without sliding I sure am not going to try the 60 degree angle going DOWN for half a mile. I hate calling in to work that I can't make it. It makes me feel guilty and evil. The person I would be relieving has been there since 10 o'clock last night and I hope they were able find someone that lived on flatter terrain that could make it in to relieve her. *Sigh* I can't do what I can't do. As soon as Tim is working again I'm going to trade my Neon in for something less...skateboard-ish. On a positive note, the snow is beautiful. I hear it started around midnight 1am and it stopped around 7am. Then it picked up again and is coming down! It's supposed to turn to rain but I sorta hope it doesn't, it will though. It's so pretty, it's a wet snow so weighs down the tree branches somethin' fierce. I was outside when I hear the ominous ccccrrrrrrraaack of a branch as it busted and fell behind our shed. It was dark and couldn't see where the noise was coming from so didn't know which way to run, that was a little scary. We were still standing when it was quiet again and found out where it fell once it was light. Now I'm back to daydreaming about spring. I was so sure it was on it's way...guess it took a detour. |
