Snow, snow go away!

It is once again time for me to complain about the Utah weather. It snowed yesterday morning. It snowed this morning. It is supposed to snow on Friday and Saturday.

I AM SICK OF THIS!!!! It is spring time, dang flabbit. I want to walk in the sunshine and look at green grass and beautiful flowers. I would even be happy with rain. After all, April showers bring May flowers.

I don't want to treck through snow and slush. I don't want to scrape heavy layers of refrozen ice off my car windows every morning. I want to put my snow boots away and not have to pull them out of the closet for a long time. I am tired of riding into work on train and huddling for warmth next to some stranger (and they're not cute either).

Thank you for listening to my snow rant. You people that love snow can comment about how "wonderful and magical" it is on your own blog. Oh and I don't want to hear about how snow helps the snow pack and our water levels either. Just keep it to yourself, bucko!

Amanda is seriously considering hibernating. (I think I have the build for it).

It's coming and I hate it!

We are expecting a big snow storm tomorrow. I'm not ready! My car is ready but I'm not. I HATE SNOW. I'm sure all you snowman-huggers out there are thinking, "why?" "snow is wonderful and beautiful" and "that's how we get our water supply". Well to you all I say "Bah Humbug"! I hate snow. Sure it seems magical when you are looking out the window! Well that is all well and good if you can stay in your house and never have to go out in it.

Then when you do drive in the snow it can feel like a heart attack wrapped up in a nightmare. I just love watching cars around me slide off the road while I have a death grip on my steering wheel that could rival a professional wrestler. There is nothing more magical then getting stuck in the snow and having to dig your tires out and put down carpet pads and rock the car back and forth to get out.

This video illustrates one of my least favorite things about the snow - cleaning off my car at the Trax station after a long day of work. Boy I just love tromping around in my snow boots, freezing my hind end off to brush the snow off my car. Oh then sometimes I have to dig my tires out too. By the time I get into my car I am exhausted and also wet - since the snow will stick to my coat and if I didn't brush it all off then I've got melting snow on my seat.



I know that I live in Utah and it snows a lot here. Every year I am smacked in the face with that realization and usually a big glob of snow falling of the roof. I'll deal with it but I don't have to like it!

Amanda really really really hates snow!
