So just yesterday I told you all about how much snow we abundantly received and all that awfulness. This morning when I got up it had done it all over again.
Unbelievable.
Our neighborhood wasn’t plowed yet, I wasn’t sure I was even going to be able to make it out on to the road and then to work.
Which wouldn’t have been all bad.
We got, I don’t know, 3-5 inches at least just overnight. What a mess. This is the only pic I got, it’s not the greatest. I took it out my car window just when I was leaving in the morning. The cement was shoveled the night before.

I feel your pain, Tom. ‘though I didn’t have to leave the house for work. The girls have been out in the snow several times the last couple days and I’m so glad they haven’t begged me to go with them. I don’t relish below freezing temperatures. Wish I could say I was going to Oregon too. You’ll just have to enjoy it for me.

OK, BAT.
You’re at it again.
This time it’s snow.
To all the rest of you, I assure you that when Tom lived out here with the rest of us Utopians, he pined for snow just like the rest of us.
Me, I’d like my driveway to look like yours (although not for anywhere nearly as long as yours will look that way!). Here in Utopia we’re (some of us) dreamin’ of a white Christmas (like Brer Troyer used to do).

Hey, Mark, don’t speak so freely for ALL the rest of us Utopians. I am a die-hard, life-long Utopian, and I for one am hoping for a sunny, GREEN Christmas! I’m with BAT. I guess snow is OK, if it comes and goes in less than 24 hours, maybe once per winter. If we want snow, there’s more than enough just 1 1/2 hours away in the mountains. :-) That’s only one of the many reasons Utopia is so great. If you want snow, it’s within reasonable reach! Maybe you had better go for a drive today, Mark! It’s sunny and clear–with snow in them thar hills! :-)
And Tom, I feel your pain. But do the best you can to enjoy it since you can’t control it. Take some more pictures of the snow and post them. Drink some iced tea and enjoy the day!
Merry Christmas to all of the ITF constituents, by the way.

Your weather sounds great!! I came home to more than a foot of snow and minus thirty! That was frigid nastiness in the REAL sense! You sure you don’t want to come spend Christmas with us? :)

I agree with everyone to some extent. Snow would be fun…but only in limited qualities and as long as someone else (i.e. MR. foodpasser) was doing the shoveling! Keep up the good husbandry Tom!
