It's snowing
Well, after a brown Christmas, it's finally snowing. It's coming down pretty good, too. I'm hoping that we get a good amount out of this. My grandpa in the SW corner of the state said there is already 5 inches on the ground. I'd say there's about 2-3 inches here. All I can say is 'keep it coming'. If I was back on the farm I'd be outside. Ran to the store a little while ago and found it starting to get a bit difficult to get around (stupid open differential).
The only thing I don't like about this weather is that a lot of people can't get it through their heads to slow down and drive carefully.

I've already had my share... 24" Friday morning - afternoon and a 20+ hour power outage at my house. Not to mention fighting my way on slick roads all the way to work only to have the power go off there too. I start driving back home to my dark house and have to help push a Toyota Supra convertable by hand uphill on an on-ramp so the rest of us could get by. He could only go 20' at a time before he would rap the engine way up and slide sideways again. After the third time I was able to get around him and though I hope he got home I don't like babysitting 40+ year old men in those conditions - puts me in a foul mood. So home I go to a dark and getting cold house. After hours in the dark I go out with friends only to be sick with a cold and have my girlfriend accidentally insult my father because he retired from the University of Utah after 30+ years - she didn't like the way they plowed the snow. My ex whom I still work with called on the work phone - no problem but it still hurts to hear the voice. Then I get to drop my girlfriend of and go sit in a dark house that is now somewhere below freezing on the inside. The cold are feels like a blow torch on my sinuses every time I breath. Finally the power came back on at about 2:30 a.m. last night - things are better now. I can't wait for spring!

I finally pushed all the snow out of my driveway. Hasn't snowed for several day and I hope that's it for the winter.
