It's snowing:

I am so so happy I'm not you. Remember, suicide sometimes is an option.

Scalia is the devil!

We're supposed to get up to a foot. My game plan is to hide indoors until it is finished. My senile parents insist on getting their vehicles inspected and shoveling 27 times. So I'm likely getting dragged into this mess.

Meanwhile in Kuwait, the LOW today was 60.  

Got mainly dug out by 3pm yesterday (Saturday). It continued to snow lightly after that, so when I woke up this morning, I had about 3 more inches to shovel. Total for my particular micro-climate: 37". We have some drifts up to about 6' here and there, but for the most part, you can't even break trail in this stuff as it's up to your stomach before you stop sinking enough to move forward. Getting the ladder out of the shed in the back yard was an expedition in and of itself. Why do I need the ladder you might ask? 3+ feet of snow on the roof. And thanks to a FOOT of insulation in the attic, it's not going anywhere unless I get at least some of it down to shingles so that it'll warm up and melt in the sun. Otherwise, I'll likely lose the roof at some point when the ice dams start forming.

Finally got out and about today around 3pm. The contractor that lives down the street has a plow-equipped pick-up. Did he take that to work the night it was supposed to snow? No. Took the Highlander instead. Was he able to get down our road when he got off work? Nope! So after most of us had shoveled and cleared our driveways, he comes running up the street in his pick-up and plows us all in. At least he got one lane open, but only from HIS house to the main road so he could bring the Highlander back down. Did I mention he's an ass? Yeah, when he moved in (before we did) he set up a cock-fighting ring in his back yard. Two of his neighbors are cops. They politely informed him to knock it off before they had to arrest him. Anything further down our road from his house is SOL, especially since he just pushed all the now from his driveway and the rest of the road into the middle of the street in that direction where it will turn into a wall of solid ice over the next few days until a county plow truck hits it. I've already informed the local authorities that he removed his snow into the street (illegal here) and warned them about the impending ice wall of death they'll have to deal with.

We actually had one lane just about open all the way from two houses down from mine all the way to the main street with just blowers and shovels. He did us a small favor clearing some of the rest of it out of the way, but overall he's a dick.

Went to the store, it was the only thing open. Even the 24 hour McDonald's up the road from me was closed with 3' of snow in the parking lot. Still, the store was enough to let me regain some sanity. Will drive my sister to the airport tomorrow afternoon so she can finally catch a flight back to NC. No work for me tomorrow or Tuesday and will likely be off Wednesday as well. I'll have to go in to throw any refrigerated proteins in the freezer before they go bad, but otherwise, it'll be a snap.

Update: It didn't snow at all in south Florida but it did get very windy and like 65* one day. 

Looks like we'll be getting another 6" or so Monday night into Tuesday. The snow from the blizzard still hasn't all melted yet despite near 50*F temps this weekend AND a ton of rain. I'm pretty sure I'll have some glaciers in miniature next to my driveway into the spring.

I know how you feel.  Tomorrow's high is only 68.

While it's nice to not have snow everywhere, it's a bit too early for the snow to be gone here in Denver with highs in the 60s or 70s.

Today was a beautiful 80 degrees, not a cloud in sight, and a nice gentle breeze.  Shorts, t-shirt, sunglasses, and sandals were worn.

It was 80°as well here and expected to reach 83° by Wednesday.  It's to warm for this time of year I don't like it.
