I'll trade places with you (though actually I'll be in that part of the country next week anyway) We have 2-3 feet of snow on the ground right now and will for at least another month. I find it hard to like snow these days.
I guess I'm a total goober. I still love it. Maybe because I grew up in S. Texas, and we almost never had snow. Even though it's a more regular occurrence now, I still get all excited about it. I love watching it fall. I love the sound of the train near our house running all night long to keep the tracks clear. I love how it makes the whole world kind of muffled and quiet. And I love how it makes everything seem all "glowy" (very technical term there ... LOL!) at night. Like I said, I'm a goober. *laughs*
By the way, I hope your trip goes well! *HUGZ* By the time you arrive, I'm sure most of this snow will be melted, so you'll be able to get a bit of a "snow break" -- although there are still rather big patches and piles of snow left over from the "big" storm we had in late December.
I'm would be insanely sad if I lived somewhere without snow. I'm always really happy about it the first week or so. I love how it looks when it's falling softly and how all the trees look covered with it. It's just that it's hard to enjoy it when you know it translates into lots of shoveling.
I'll actually be sort of sad of all the snows gone, it always confuses me when I know it's winter, but there isn't any snow. I'm already convinced that once I get there I'm going to think it's shorts and t-shirt time. I've been checking the weather conditions and it's at least 20 degrees warmer there at the lowest.
I'm a goof, but I love it. Last year, I think we even had snow in February. Not a lot, but I was totally excited about it. Maybe because I grew up in S. Texas, and we almost never had snow. I'm not sure, but I'm totally like a little kid when it comes to the white stuff. (LOLz ... and ... *GLOMS*) =D
Yeah ... we will have to shovel hubby's car out. Plus, we still need to shovel off our driveway and sidewalk. I think we'll probably do it tomorrow, since the snow pretty much fell all day today. I know I should get out there and do it earlier, but I feel really silly shoveling when the snow is still falling. And then, I do all that work only to turn around and see it get covered up again. Frustrating. >.O
I haven't actually touched my car yet for the same reason...I'm going to wait till tomorrow so more snow doesn't pile up on it. We got Susan's car out okay though.
...It's not actually the shoveling that makes me so disgruntled....it's the fact that I have to park on the street....and I know that someone will take my space after I shovel it and move my car...and chances are very high that when I come back I'll have to shovel all over again in order to park my car. And since I don't get home from work till 7 that means shoveling in the dark. *emo*
Bah, stupid adult world crushing my chilhood glee!
I am glad I didn't have to drive in it. I was supposed to do stuff today, but nothing that I couldn't reschedule -- which is what I did. I wasn't expecting as much snow as we got, though. I was expecting the one or two inches, so I was surprised when it kept falling (and pretty heavily, too) all day.
Hubby was on his way home from Miami today. Last night, he paid to change his reservation to an earlier flight, which ended up being lucky. If he hadn't had a reservation for it, he wouldn't have made it home, as his flight was the last one they let out of Miami headed for DC. All the later flights were canceled. Then, he had to sit on the plane for over an hour because the gate was too snowed in and they couldn't unload. And then he had to wait for almost another hour in the taxi line. His flight actually arrived at Dulles at around 3:20, but he didn't make it home until almost 7. Poor guy. He was probably way hating the snow today.
(But I was still all happy about it. I'm terrible ... I know. *shame* =D)
