Go figure. They close when it's snowing and the roads aren't too bad and open when the roads are a sheet of ice. Thank God HC convinced them to allow him to work from home today being he is without a car. he had to take 3 trains and a taxi to get to his office yesterday.
The salt barely works in the very low temps, which doesn't make sense to me at all, but that's what I've been hearing from "experts".
I also heard Parkway ran out of salt. Don't know if that's true or not.

Well it was a slow go this morning.
Parkway was at a standstill a couple hours ago.
Glad you got there safely. Poor HC.

So the older son next door is being a jackass. All day yesterday, I heard him yelling at his mother that he wasn't going out with the snowblower until the snow finally stopped. They had a big blow out last night, with him screaming loudly after it had stopped. They just tell me to shovel all around my truck cause they won't go close to it, and they'll do the rest with the blower. So all four times I went out there yesterday, that's what I did. Around the truck, about a foot and a half cleared. He hasn't gotten out there at all today, and the younger son is out there shoveling what the older one usually snowblows. If I had known he was going to be a jerk, I would've shoveled all the crap in front of my truck, when it was easy to just push to the side. I just gave the other one some money to do the snow in front of mine when he's done getting his mother's car out.

HC got home before me last night so he started shoveling my car out because he wanted to surprise me and meet me at the bus. He said while he was shoveling my neighbor 2 doors came down the street plowing the side walk and started helping with the driveway and then disappeared. HC went to his house and said, Thank You for helping, but you didn't have to do that. I really appreciate it. And gave the guy some money. He a nice guy and shares his name with HC I never met the wife or baby yet.
Why was he shoveling?? You have a snowblower!!
ETA: I'm shocked he got home before you with all the transportation he had to take!

You all have suffered this year!
Cold here but we should have sun this weekend!
Got me why he didn't take the snow blower out.
His office closed at 1 pm yesterday.
He lucked out in that respect, since he had to take public transportation.
But damn. Paying that travel money for a few hours. UGH!!!

At the bus stop I had a vision of the snow melting over the weekend! 0 degrees on 3/6!

Mooney - we are planning a southern college tour in April. Strange affinity for the big football schools of the south. I want to go regardless - never been to Alabama!
It is 80 here today and sunny.

Well, my mother tongue is not English, so I'll be passing on this fantastic opportunity. Spam much?

I wore a light jacket this morning. Probably too light! Nice sunny day!

I'm wearing pastels. I've got a sweater on, but it and my scarf are pastels. It's my "I refuse to acknowledge winter anymore" look.

The spammer's posts were removed and now my opening post makes no sense. Move along, folks, nothing to see here. Thankfully.
