Back to work

It's a good thing I was able to go back to work today or I might have had to start cleaning the closet. Whew, dodged a bullet on that one. There are only so many presents to wrap, treats to make and decorations to put up.

The weather is still a little iffy and we're supposed to get more snow this weekend. I've lived here for 14 years and I can't remember a winter where the white stuff has stuck around for so long. I do realize that it's only a little compared to so many others but for us it's exciting stuff. Our news is having fun covering "Artic Blast 2008" . I'm thinking those from Canada, Minnesota etc would be laughing now.

In other weather related news, my van does not drive well in the snow/ice. I went to work yesterday for a few hours and the weather was getting pretty bad so I proceeded to drive/slide home, praying/pleading for every light to stay green so I didn't have to stop/skid and restart/fishtail. It took me nearly two hours to get home when it normally takes me 35.

Maybe we'll get a white Christmas out of it. But only the kind where you can still drive around and do what you want to.

I am not one to like snow/ice/cold... but a white Christmas wouldn't be so bad after all. :)

Yes this is nothing....at home in Canada it is -40 ish and they are still in school flabbergasted that for us it has been closed all week.
But it sorta reminds me of home and I LOVE it. Praying that it lasts!

Snow is wonderful when you can sit in your house and watch it from INDOORS!!! I HATE driving in it.

Hope you get a White Christmas.
