I'm Gonna Scream

[Crankin]

The storm totally fizzled out south of us. It never got below thirty degrees. I am so sad. I want snow! It's been lightly spitting all day, but nothing on the roads. The whole state shut down. State employees were told not to go to work and all schools were either closed or had early release. My university shut down at noon.
It was nice to have a day with nothing, but I had planned on x country skiing Friday. Maybe we should drive to PA this weekend.
Yea, I learned to drive in the snow at age 37. It was scary. After two years, I got a car with AWD and now it's tolerable. Like Sadie Kate said, just about everyone here has an AWD car and i also have winter tires. But, they plow just about immediately. It's down to the blacktop, even on neighborhood streets. However, there's often a lot of freezing/melting/refreezing, so ice becomes an issue in the mornings. Thankfully, the roads are treated well.

May I just say the "I'm Gonna Scream" thread title is, imo, the best of all time?

Next: be careful out there. Stay in if you can, and, if I may recommend, watch Bo--the Obama's dog--playing in the snow at

We have had nearly 4 weeks of about 3 snowstorms per week, for maybe two feet of snow total in town and maybe a total of two days of sun, which is wildly unusual for Santa Fe. But it is nothing compared to what you folks out east are going through. But the weather is truly weird.

This planet is hurting and changing, and expressing herself completely right now.
