snow report

[plural]

we are supposed to get between two and three feet from the blizzard
raging outside my house
tonight

and another foot or two
in the next storm coming tomorrow night

which should mean waist deep powder
for skiing on tues or weds
[depending on when they are able to open the roads]
[so that the hill can open]

which will be very sweet

of course

getting home tonight and shovelling nearly a foot of snow
out of my driveway in order to park my car
so that when the plow comes by
my car will be stuck behind a huge pile of snow
that I'll have to work on in the morning
if I want to go anywhere

and

just to give you an idea how hard it is coming down

I shovelled an eight foot by five foot section of my driveway
to park my car in
it took me about 30 minutes

by the time I finished
it had dropped nearly three inches
on the place where I had started

my front stairs arent even sloped any more either
just a flat line off the porch

this is gonna be an interesting couple of days

On the way home, find a half-frozen hobo and offer him a hot meal and a place to sleep in return for shoveling your driveway.

And then break your promise once he's done.

this is a small town

we dont have homeless people

the humane society uses them
to feed the strays

Burn down a neighbor's house. In addition to creating some much-appreciate warmth, it will generate enough homeless people to serve your needs.

now there is any idea

of course that would require the blizzard lessening up enough for me to actually be able to find a neighbors house

That is your own fault for not stocking long-range incendiary devices, sir. Such things come in handy, and not just to alleviate boredom in the classroom.

Also, I just retroactively commented on your flower vigil post. If you don't have email notification turned on, you should check that out. :)

bwah

I wish

its about 3 feet in the shallow spots
closer to five in the drifts
and when the plow goes by
he leaves a pile nearly as high as I am

welcome to Canada.

I remember living in MN... you really do get used to walking down sidwalks that have are in 5 foot high tunnels.
