I don't know.. walking around in snow at 1 am Saturday felt pretty awesome as did yesterday afternoon in the sun.. Talk about a winter wonderland..



Oh I totally agree its really awesome, but only when there aren't any obligations.

Snow is fun on a snow day. Snow is a hassle when you have to go to either work or school. I was taking deliveries at work on Saturday morning here in Richmond. That was fun.

so much snow down there. I wish we'd get some real snow in Manhattan. We're expecting some on Wed. which means it'll be a light dusting, if that.

You're more than welcome to come down and help Smackie and Mr. Natural shovel out my car.  ;)

basically, snow is fun for maximum one day after -- no work, you can walk in the middle of the street, everyone's in a good mood.  After that it's a cold, nasty slushy slog and even if work is closed you know shit is piling up on your desk.     So the key is to enjoy that one day as much as possible (unless you're without power, in which case it's harder to do even that).
For me it's not the work piling up it's not being able to enjoy the time off w/ this amount of snow to shovel and prepping w/ stocking supplies beforehand. When we were kids our parents did it for us. ;) And those who now have kids are also looking to go back to work too, probably. :)

Sorry guys. The party has been cancelled. Finally got my car out.

Er, ah.... or maybe I should say, the party has been postponed until Wednesday.   :-\

link from miss p:

With idiotic drivers out in the D.C. snow, observers are driven to distraction
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/09/AR2010020903522.html

seriously folks, driving in snow is an acquired skill.  takes experience, the right equipment (i.e. not a rear-wheel drive with bald tires)... and humility to admit that some things just can't be done until the snow is gone.  i've been in my car once this week, and won't be going back out there until streets are a LOT clearer.  the amount of idiocy i saw on the road was scary.

I don't think I've ever seen the Washington Post use the word "idiotic" so many times (or at all, actually).  But that article makes a good point.
