Hey, look! It's Snowing!

You know what's really irritating, the TV stations put up their storm warning crap up on the screen a day before it was even supposed to start! WTF is that all about?

Anyway. if there's one good thing about this snow . . . front wheel drive. We owned a 92 Towne Car a few years back. It would have been disabled at the last "snow storm" we had. That car was dangerous in the winter.

But, front wheel drive on a Dodge Caravan . . . goes through anything, I swear. There's still the matter of all the other idiots on the road . . . some in Towne Cars . . . but a front wheel drive van sure makes driving in this stuff a lot safer.

It's freakin' Snowing!

I'm sick of winter already.

You know what else pissed me off today? I forgot they moved Daylight Savings! I thought I had an extra hour this morning.

More Snow?!?!

From JSonline:

Winter storm watch Thursday
Call it the winter that just won't quit: The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for all of southeast Wisconsin beginning Thursday morning.

The weather service says the potential exists for 6 inches or more of snow. More snow could fall in areas near Lake Michigan, according to the latest forecast.

I'm gonna need more xanax.

How much snow fell?

If you were to look outside, or more specifically, drive the streets, you'd think it was February and we've been dumped on all winter long. The plowing is the worst I've ever seen. My dad was a supervisor in Milwaukee's public works so I have a bit of an insight here. Salting is bad, clean up is bad, all the side streets are terrible. Even the main streets aren't well plowed to the curbs. And this is the first snow! If you live in the city, I encourage you to contact your alderman and complain. I have. I thought the city did pretty well last year. If this is any indication, it's going to be a long winter.

The first snow

The other night I was reading in bed with my daughter. I got up to get her some water and noticed that the snow had collected a bit outside. I made the comment: "Hey, there's snow on the ground." I then heard footsteps racing from the bedroom in to the kitchen and saw my girlie looking outside the window. "Woo hoo!" she yelled and went racing to the front window. "Cool!" she said as she came back to the bedroom obviously happy with nature's work.

No winter blues here.
