Pros And Cons of Snow Fall and Apartment Living

Pro:

I don't have to shovel.

Con:

I don't have the authority to tell people to shovel, and how to shovel correctly. Thanks for the ridiculous attention to shoveling, Dad.



Pro:

I don't have to shovel.

Con:

The snow plow person chooses to plow at 11:30pm. I am transitioning to old life. I am in REM sleep usually by 10:37pm.

Pro:

I can openly laugh at people who have to shovel.

Con:

The snow plow sounds as if it's churning metal. Did I mention it's out there at 11:30pm?

Pro:

There's no dread in the morning about having to shovel to get out of the driveway. It's somebody else's problem. It's just a beautiful winter wonderland to me.

Con:

That metal churning noise? Yeah, kind of freaked me out the first time I heard it.

Pro:

No shoveling.

Con:

I don't have winter boots (kind of applies).

Pro:

Snow plow goes fast.

Con:

Snow plow goes too frigging fast near my car. Gives me the heart flutters as I watch it whiz by.

All in all, I think it evens out.

My Snowy Luck

How fair is this?

I come back to my folks place last night so Annie doesn't have to hang out here alone and Dec. 1st is the day the snow starts to fall.

The one good thing about not living in a house is that I don't have to shovel.

And now the first significant snow fall has me outside getting the shovel out.

Damn.

Shoveling The Day After Maggie Leaves

Ok, so everyone knows that here in London we had a green Christmas.

I didn't mind so much (Annie's complaining could be heard in Oxford County) because this meant no shoveling.

And when I was driving Maggie to the airport in the rain she commented on how funny it would be if it snowed enough the next day to have to shovel it from the driveway.

Wouldn't that be funny? Because she and Annie hadn't done any shoveling at all during their stay.

Well, the next day wouldn't you know I was out there shoveling. And cursing my sisters.

So thanks Mags, I appreciate your "help".

The one thought that consoles me is the knowledge that had the both of them been at home during any snow fall we ALL know that neither one of them would have picked up a shovel.

P.S. This is my 101st post on my blog! W00T!

Snow Day!

The snow covers the damage on Mom's car.

Snow Day!

Whoa.

Snow Day!

Dad's truck...guess he's not driving to Corunna!

Snow Day

It took the snow ploughs hours to come since public transportation was shut down today.

Snow Day!
