I remember spring. Spring is what we had two days ago. At this point though, it's almost a distant memory.
As of yesterday morning it began snowing again. Not little, light, pretty snowflakes; that would have been bad enough, but wind blowing, blizzard like ice pellets and huge mountains of snow. We are smack dab in the middle of winter again! It's cold, and wet, and slippery, and snowy....two days ago we had basically said good-bye to all this. There was green grass in places and a lake in my back yard. Now the city looks like this!


This morning, I spent 30 minutes trying to chip ice about half an inch thick off all the windows of my car in almost knee deep snow. I was not very successful, and basically had to drive to school with just a small area I could see out of. Not that all that clearing mattered much, because with all the blowing snow, I really couldn't see anyway. It was one of the most miserable drives of my life. My only consolation was that no one else could see either. I really don't think that was a good thing.
What makes matters worse is that I am finally home, safe and warm, and I have to turn around and go back out in this because I work tonight. It's not like people are going to go out in this to go shopping, so basically I am risking life and limb to go out to do nothing all night when I should be at home sleeping!
