Let it sNOw, let it sNOw, let it sNOw!

I wasn't sure if this was appropriate to put in the Open Mic Snow thread, so I started a new one.

I just spent the last 45 minutes shoveling snow from the sidewalk in front of our house and from the world's longest driveway leading up to our garage. It had stopped snowing, so I figured I better do it before it packs down and gets icy.

And can I just say, I'm pooped. It's not easy and it sucks. AND it's hard on a girl's manicure! And I hear it's something you have to do over and over again...

Then, just as I'm finished with the whole thing, it starts snowing again. Then it did this weird snow and rain thing. Ugh. It may be time to visit my friends in Hawai'i.

During the whole thing, I did get to show off my new Sorel snow boots and black parka. So there was an upside.

Now there's thunder and lightning as I'm writing this. What an attention diva the weather is...

This is why I live in Phoenix. I despise cold wet weather.

I just get to stand here and look at fake snow, and evil Christmas decorations

according to my marginally accurate thermometer, its just shy of 80F here in sunny So Cal (Yeah, I moved).
What is this 'snew' youre referring to?

CoasterMatt · 12-09-2005, 01:26 PM

I think it's some sort of seasonal mental condition...

I do have some weather complaints here in Phoenix. I am having to cover my ficus trees because the temp at night is dropping to the high 20s during a recent cold snap. Last night was not as bad.

I saw an inflatible lawn decoration the other day that made me laugh. It's a huge blow up snow globe with santa and a snow man in it. It blows fake snow around inside the globe. Okay, I saw one of those on someone's lawn out in the real snow. Seems kinda silly to me.

Yup, textbook SoCal winter day. Rainy all night, cloudy in the morning (but the ground already nearly dry*), birght sunny 85 by lunch. Faaaantastic.

Saw these at Costco in all their, um, glory.

*One of the odder things to get used to for a Southern Californian if you're visiting, say, Seattle...if it hasn't rained for a day or 2, the ground may still very well be wet! Down here, if it hasn't rained in the last 60 minutes, all pavement and asphalt is dry. A few more hours, and your lawn is dry. The perpetual wetness is somehow oddly unsettling if you're not used to it.
