It's about time we got a decent snow storm.

It really is. I miss these days. It's to bad it's not really snow, it's sleet. 3 inches of sleet and now its freezing rain (yes there is a difference for all you non-northeastern people) which means we'll have a wonderful time digging out tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I love this weather, especially when it's not to cold out, like it is now. It's a nice 30 degrees out which is warm enough for me. But man, that wind, it sucks. . 30+ MPH winds are not cool.

It's a little sad that we had to wait until February to have a snow emergency issued for the city. I remember a time when we would have had 3 of them before the new year. Those were when blizzards were really fun though, when schools got closed and you and all your friends would go out into the freezing weather anyway just to play. If school wasn't closed it would have been to cold to do anything but when all your friends have the day off too it's a completely different story.

I remember one time, I was about 14, the plow was coming down the street and the snow looked like a wave. I thought it would fun to stand by the side of the street and let the wave hit me. . . . it was fun alright. I was knocked over by this "wave" and buried up to my waist. Good times hahaha.

Then there was that time I built a multi-level snow fort and subsequently had it cave in on me. =( not so fun. But i dug out of it and I'm fine so that makes it not so bad. Another memory addes and a story for the kids later in life.
