Gotta love winter....

I'm going to have to call in absent to work today. Not due to the flu, or to the ole' head, but because I can't get out of my freaking parking lot!!!
It's almost as if the weather Goddess decided I needed a mental health day and puts enough snow down overnight that I can't even back out of my parking space without the tires spinning, let a lone try to break threw the blockade at the end of the driveway left by the city plows. Just great huh?
Let it snow ...Let it snow... Let it snow????

hahaha, what'd you get in town? we got 7 inches out here, and now it's freakin snowing again.  I just watched Lily get on the bus, I wonder if school will get out early again today, like it did yesterday for her. Our snowblower is shot, seems as if a mouse nest got built in it, and might have chewed up the wiring. Hubby had to ask his brother to plow us out.
Supposed to get 2 more inches! THEN whattya gonna do? LOL

Depends on what end of town you are in Mel. I would have to say a good 8-9 inches here so far. Can we say this gives a new meaning to the words...Slip and Slide.

Redd, my grandaughter lives in Stevens Point. She's from the desert and it's only her second year up there. She hated her first winter there. I'll have to call her and see what she thinks about the snow.

Went out in my jammies and took a pic of the dump. Looks like the smurfs were here spreading their cheer...
The blue fog you see, is more snow falling. Don't know why my camera started taking blue pictures, I guess it can't handle too much white, lol.
Fa la la la la, la la la la... 
p.s. Stevens Point is my hometown, born N raised. Used to live on College Ave, 2 blocks from the University.

Wisconsin eh?
Looks like we're next on the snow fairy's route for a white Christmas here in MI.
I'm going to plan ahead and start my Christmas shopping.

No fair!!! Being 2 hrs south of ya Redd means we got nothin' ... nada ... zilch in the way of snow. (Well actually just a dusting overnight, but that's gone already) Not that it matters anyway, I don't have time this week to go outside & play ... it's Christmas cheesecake time at our house.
Later

Now THAT song brings tears to my eyes.....the good kind. That's "our song."
First song Jim and I danced to at our wedding........and many, many times after.
Love pics, Mel. Glad I'm not the only one still in my jammies when the bus comes.

Beautiful pics, mel. Almost makes me miss a real winter. When it snows here, it melts within hours. Then I think about Pegg having to dig the car out and I think... I LOVE THE SUNBELT! My kids would sure have a blast in it... the only snowmen they've made this year were only about a foot tall.

Great pics, Mel. I love pictures of snow. Consider switching your digital to B&W. The Contrast is sooo much better, IMHO. [Right Paul?]
Redd--the great thing about shoveling snow in my neck of the woods is it becomes a neighbor thing. We all pitch in and help each other....then we have beers in front of the fire place...maybe play some scrabble.

the snow makes everything black and white anyway!
so it adds a little drama and timelessness to it.
