i swear, i love snow and winter long as there IS snow but tonight was ridiculous. it warmed up enough to rain instead of snowing and then immediately dropped to 28 and turned EVERYTHING into ice. yanked on the door a few times, got in my car leaving work and had to sit there for 20min playing words crush on my phone while it thawed out my windshield.

and then oops felt REALLY bad since i ordered pizza before knowing this happened. glad i at least rock salted my steps and sidewalk, but man... every driver out there's gotta be miserable, hopefully not getting hurt...

Hah!

There was a time I liked snow and winter. Now that I've gotten older I've become a total pussy about it and I don't try to hide it either. It was cool when snow meant day off. Being an adult with stuff to do regardless removes any fun from it. I took a brief trip on my bike Thursday night when the temp was in the teens (Fahrenheit) and super windy. I thought I was gonna die.

Last time I saw snow was in 2010 I think. I miss it. I just love when everything is so white and cosy.

Snow can eventually loose its charm if you live in the Northeastern US (and other regions that are pummeled with wintry crapolla on an annual basis). It looks pretty until you have to clear several inches of it from vehicles and walkways for three months. Southern CT is also frozen over today. Thankfully, I escaped some percentage of wintry precipitation by leaving D.o.S's soon-to-be-former area code.

I've got the best of both worlds. Where I'm it, it's about 65°F, give or take. But 45 minutes north in flagstaff the elevation jumps from ~4000ft to ~7500, so if I want snow, I can get it.


Arizona summer still sucks.

We got a solid five or so last night. So now everything is quite pretty. Going to get another two or three this afternoon. Fortunately I don't have to go anywhere and can just hunker down all cozy-under-a-blanket style.

I was at a holiday party at a house that's on hill next to a fairly busy street. Every time we'd go out to smoke we would end up watching some car get stalled out going up the hill and people with better tires driving into oncoming traffic to get around them. Some of them swerving and almost hitting a cop car, and the cop not giving a shit and driving off while two guys are physically pushing their car up the hill. It was an entertaining clusterfuck.
