IT'S SNOWING

ACTUAL FROZEN FLAKEY WATER IS COMING OUT OF THE SKY

GRANTED, IT'S BLOWING SIDEWAYS AT THIS ALTITUDE AND IT PROBABLY WON'T STICK, BUT IT'S STILL SNOW

HUZZAH HUZZAH HUZZAH

(On this point my Canadian and American proclivities are equally enthusiastic, because dammit, we needed a real winter- and because my American proclivities were set by four years of college in Cleveland. It's not a real winter until they have to send out garbage trucks with plow blades on the front.)

Stop screaming, you've scared it off! See? It stopped!

Wah. *sadfaces*

Blog-hopping because I was bored, but just wanted to say I practically live in Cleveland and last night was the first real snow we have had since October, and it will probably be gone by this afternoon.

That bad, huh? Yeek.

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

Yep. The snow isn't even covering the grass.

As opposed to us Dallasites, who believe it ain't winter until there's brown stuff(*) on the bridges, everyone's driving like it's the end of the world (again)(**), and some damn fool has managed to wrap his SUV into a new an interesting shape between us and our off ramp of choice(***).


(*) - City services use sand around these parts instead of salt or de-icing compounds. It's cheap, plentiful, and we don't get that much of a freeze.

(**) - The presence of sand on the roadways makes this different from the first heavy rain of the year, which invariably brings the oil up out of the asphalt and makes people crazy on the roadways.

(***) - The presense of sand on the roadways makes this different than any other extraordinarily creative vehicular suicide that may occur in the area. People cannot drive in Dallas; what's more, they know they cannot drive and are determined to kill as many people as they possibly can when they inevitably destroy their overpriced, gas-guzzling SUV and/or pickup truck.

Whoa. I'm only half an hour out of the city and it's not snowing up here. :(

I hear you about Winter in Cleveland.

The daffodils in California come up and bloom in mid to late January--and while I dig that whole "tune into the natural rhythm" thing?

THAT JUST AIN'T RIGHT!

It's been like mid seventies low eighties out here in LA.
