+16 degrees F, 10 inches of snow, cloudy, 20% chance of flurries.
That sort of says it all, doesn’t it. I love it, …….. for the first 15 minutes. But discounting the weather, the four or five hours of the power outage last night and scurrying around by candle light locating AA, C and D batteries. Oh ya, we first had to find the candles by way of the illuminated screens of our cellphones. Ya, love it, …..winter, so much fun.
It is snowing here again! Shit! I hate it. There are no redeeming qualities in snow, ice or winter.
I don’t give a rat’s ass for skiing, sledding or snowmobiling either. Wait, I forgot ice fishing, hate it! I DO give a rat’s ass if I get stuck, have to scrape ice and shovel walks. But I don’t mind the opportunity to say rat’s ass. Winter’s the only time of year I feel like using it.
It’s a beautiful season. Beautiful if you like the sound of the furnace running or icicles falling off the eve. Wait I forgot about freezing my butt off. Love it, very comfortable, put on the heavy socks and the wool sweater and freeze your butt off. It’s wonderful, a regular winter wonderland.
The clock begins today. The calendar is on winter day one. What’s it going to be this year, record low temps, breaking records of most consecutive days below freezing, earliest or deepest snow? Really looking forward to it, breaking records, looooove breaking records. How about just once having the record for warmest winter, least snow and lowest heat bills. Then I’ll celebrate. Otherwise Mr. Weatherman, I don’t want to hear about it.
Maybe DSS can write a wonderful poem about it. Humph! Winter! Phooey!!
