Snow

[divingbiker]

Be careful what you wish for. I'm housebound at my sister's, out in the country in Nebraska, and we're in the middle of a blizzard. Roads are totally blocked by drifts of snow, 40 mph winds, temp is 10 or so with wind chills well below zero. There's not been a storm like this in many years.

Our storm last week in the DC area was a piece of cake compared to this. I'm not even sure I'll be able to fly home on Sunday.

And the whole family is cooped up together; another day or two and it might get ugly.

I went to my Mom's for Christmas & she had made herself a snowman:

Poor guy looks like a Peep in a microwave

And little Laura without her xc skis
Be sure to tie a rope around you if you have to go out to the barn

LOL, Zen. I keep saying the same thing to the folks here. You can tell we're about the same age, with the same TV references.

I read the books

If I was trapped with my sister, definitely things would get ugly and there would probably be blood.

But I'm home by myself, I have milk, toilet paper, and snowshoes. I want snow.

I'm looking forward to the white stuff melting away. Can't wait for dry ground again. Want to feel the road/ground on the rubber of my bicycle tires.

Me too!!! It's been raining here steadily since mid-day yesterday. Starting to see the ground in places. It's supposed to stop raining by 6:00 tonight and be clear and dry and 40 degrees by noon tomorrow. I'm thinking it might just be suitable for a loooonnng road ride.

Me too! I'm hoping to ride outside tomorrow.

Had some sleety rain this AM, but now it's just rain. It's going to be 40 degrees tomorrow! The rain might stop in time for me to get a little outdoor ride in, after I pick up my son at the train station.
It's going to be freezing cold the rest of the week.

Now I know why you haven't returned my phone call from Christmas Eve.

We're stuck at my sister's place in Connecticut. Not for horrible weather. Well, for the lack of decent ski weather. We didn't head to Vermont, as planned, b/c they're calling for warming temps, sleet, and rain. Not exactly ideal ski conditions. Blech.
