    Winter Wonderland my Butt!!



    Driving in a foot of snow sucks.

    I got stuck five times on my way into work. Had to be pushed out four of those times. And the two worst places I got stuck?

    On the corner of the intersection right outside of work and in the employee parking lot.

    It took a half an hour and four strangers (bless them ) to finally free my car. In the parking lot, three co-workers pushed me into the nearest spot.

    I have no idea how I'm gonna get the car out.

    Many of the local colleges and universities are closed. We don't even have classes going on right now. So why am I here?

    Bah!

    I am in Michigan, too. They had almost 300 closings this morning- just in west michigan. Crazy! Sorry you got stuck.

    It's snowing SO hard, I can't even see across the road!!!

    I have to head off to work in a little while myself, and I'm really not looking forward to driving in this stuff. It's still coming down pretty hard and with Kim getting stuck that many times, I'm sure it'll be a pretty stressful drive.

    But you gotta admit - it's pretty. As long as you can stay home and admire it from the warmth of your house!

    I agree that the snow is pretty and festive and I'd rather have a white Christmas than not. I just hate driving in it and driving WHILE it's a blizzard out.

    It's a love/hate relationship.

    Well, a few more inches are due to arrive tonight and tomorrow. I would be delighted to FedEx it to you!.. if I only could, sigh...

    The snow and I have a love/hate relationship as well.

    LOL!! Well, I'm home, so it can snow all it wants!

    It's really starting to come down tonight. Supposed to get 1-3 inches tonight and another 2-4 tomorrow night.
