Can you believe it?! The blog is 18 years old now!
I'm at the age where I'm starting to forget when this blog got started. I almost thought it was 19 this year. Nope! Started in 2008. I'm shocked that Blogger is still around, letting me do my thing. One of the few constants the internet still has these days.
But the big thing to happen around here this month?
It snode.
Again.
This time Snow Miser got offended that we finally started to see grass again and dumped two feet of snow on us this past Sunday night. We were due for our once a decade blizzard, and the big ones lately hit in sixes: 2026, 2016, 2006, 1996.
"The Blizzard of '26" really is best said in an old prospector's voice. And people will STILL think the blizzard of '78 was worse. At least this one came overnight and everyone knew it was coming. THAT one came during rush hour traffic and cars were just buried on the highway. That sounded worse.
For the first time EVER my job closed due to the weather. That's how much it ruined the morning commute. Apparently the managers still had to show up, but I really didn't envy them.
Just getting out of my driveway was a herculean effort. The snow went up to my waist. Behind me is the giant pile we shoveled to the side. The end of my driveway was about two feet to my left of this picture. It had to go SOMEWHERE.
And last time it was dry, powdery snow. This one was more wet and a way bigger pain in the ass to clean up. At least that meant we got to see the road much sooner than last time.
And then two days later came fluffy snow that re-covered everything! And it came down right as I was driving to work! And it all melted by the time I drove home! At least that's the silver lining in all this, it's actually been above freezing and a lot of it is already melting, with rain and warmer temperatures coming in the next week.
And that means March is coming, and with it, my own birthday. I'll check back in here with you guys then.
