Fantastic! We're expecting another foot of snow tomorrow night. That will make three feet of snow in four days.
Keep in mind I'm in Philadelphia. It's not like I live in the mountains or the great white north, so we're not typically prepared for this type of accumulation. Also, the Philly area is notoriously bad when it comes to snow removal from roadways, yet most businesses stay open anyway.
Just digging my front and back walkways out from 2 feet of snow was taxing enough. Then I had to dig out our two cars from street parking, and I'm probably not getting either of those spots back. Now we have another foot coming. Jeez.
For those of you not in heavy snowfall areas, keep these things in mind. Snow is not always light and fluffy; sometimes it is wet and heavy or frozen like ice. Wind is a bitch and can sometimes completely negate your work if you were fortunate enough to have the fluffy snow. Otherwise, the wind is just cold and annoying. Most of all, think about the logistics of carving out your car from snow; the snow is two feet high, you need to dig out a two to three foot perimeter around your car (plus whatever is actually packed on top of the car), and then you need to carry this snow several feet unless you plan on dumping it in the plowed street or sidewalk you just cleared. If you have a driveway you then have to shovel that, as well.
It's especially great around here. You have to bring your wet clothes inside, and before you even set them down on a towel, you watch out the window as the inconsiderate neighbors dump their snow on areas you've already cleared, because face it, there's a reason Philly has such a bad rep. The people here are asses.
Scott is grumpy and sore and referring to himself in the third person. Bad times indeed.
Someone send out some positive vibes with a good story or something.
(at least the website has been updated...)
