First Snow of the Season.
We got a bit of snow last night, just enough make driving a pain in the ass and to require clearing the sidewalks. Accordingly, I decided to take a pass on this morning’s groundpound and, instead, fire up Mr. Snowblower and clear off everyone’s sidewalks and driveways on the block. It was every bit as invigorating as a walk (maybe more so), but with the snowblower blasting in my ears and my concentrating on the task at hand, I didn’t have a chance to ruminate on anything to write about – other than snowblowing. Duh.
Seems like a good time to finish that silly novel I’m reading until it’s time to head over to the Post to hang with the Usual Suspects.
Winter Wonderland, my ass.
Since 11/5/08
What you need is some flannel jammies & sheets, a comfy throw, and a mug of creamy hot chocolate. Perhaps, if you embrace the snow, rather than have disdain for it — says the non-homeowner who doesn’t have to freeze her stindeens of clearing snow off of all her neighbors’ property, and then drive in it later — then it becomes entirely more bearable.

What you need is a shot of that Chocolate Vodka you’ve got stashed… but you are a sweetie for doing everyone’s snowblowing – that’s a job (even though it looks like it should be sooooo easy with such a cute motorized shoveler).

People with lives make me hate teaching. Grrrr.
It is downright raw outside.

“Winter Wonderland, my ass.”
All our GREEN grass is looking pretty darn good right about now, there, Jimbo.

Recently moving to Alaska has given me a new perspective on the Lower 48′s weather. Here we’ve had snow on the ground since MID-OCTOBER. Was 4 below today. No one blinks an eye.
Snowfall moves through half of America — and it’s all over Fox News as much as if Lindsay Lohan had been arrested again.
Bet it sure looks nice, though!

Mark is obviously trying to steal the Wiseass Jooette gig from me — ain’t gonna happen, buddy. Listen, Jimbo, here’s what you do [us North-Easterners, we GOT to stick together, especially against these fruity Deadheads]: Just make a wise-crack about “Castro-Glide” or San Franpelosidooshbagcisco and he should simmer right down.

“especially against these fruity Deadheads”
Lies, all lies.
I never wore fruit on my head.

78 here yesterday in coastal Georgia. I went fishing and drank a few beers and got me a tan on the water.

It is FAROOKIN’ cold!
I’ve been saving using that for a very long time, for the right time. I love that word! It ’bout explains the frigid temps with winds that will peel the siding off a house! What? Is it March?

I hope you use foam ear plugs when using that thing Jimbo, seriously.

I hate to say it Jimbo but I’d happily trade your snow for the sunny warm weather we’ve had today.
If I had my way my happy ass would be living in the U.P. of Michigan.
Yep, I’m a freak of nature.
