No snow days.....


We haven't had snow this winter..... I mean, it's relatively early in the winter and we've still got a ways to go, but....
It's not necessarily that I'm complaining. Snow is a bitch to deal with, a bitch to shovel, a bitch to drive around in and considering the insanity of the what one snowy day can become with the preparations for it, ugh..... But a New England winter without snow.... :sigh:
Last year, we got hammered with snow. There was several feet of snow piled up outside. People didn't know what to do with all the friggin' snow. The roads got narrower because the amount of snow encroached on road space... I mean, there was lots of snow for the area. This year? Nothing.
I remember last year, I cussed and cried and shoveled snow until my hands blistered and bled, then continued to shovel even afterwards. The kids had snow days up the wazoo, we had a winter play park complete with tunnels and an igloo, a few sled runs, a "snowman making factory" and a private 5-6 ft maze through the backyard. Well, it was more of a dog walking area. Otis, being a dachshund, is a wee bit low to the ground and his undercarriage tends to drag across ice and snow if we get more than 4 inches of snow.....
Now watch.... With this all being said, Murphy's law is gonna kick me right in the cooch and hammer us with snow until April..... Dang it.
