Winter Commutes

We got some snow in the Boston area yesterday. Just a dusting really. Not enough to mobilize the snow removal forces for most cites and towns. That means yesterday’s snow turned into this morning’s ice. The drive in was a touch on the slow side (44 miles in 86 minutes) but it could have been worse.

The evening commute, however, is going to be worse. We have more snow in the forecast. It’s another dusting, but it’s coming this afternoon. Just in time for the evening commute.

I want to warn Eastern Massachusetts that they had best stay the hell out of my way. My step daughter has a school event tonight and I am going to get there on time and I don’t care how bloody the path behind me gets in the process.

Pull over, I’ve got a Christmas show to see!

Screw You, Mother Nature – Continued

Today is March 21, 2013.  The first day or Spring was yesterday.

It is snowing.

Screw you, Mother Nature!

We had snow in the Fall.  We had snow in the Winter.  We have snow in the Spring.  Suddenly the old joke about having two season, Winter and July, doesn’t seem so funny.

I WANT SPRING!

Hooray for Spring

Is everyone enjoying March 19th so far? It’s the last day of winter and Mother Nature is proving it. Snow. Lots of snow. It’s still falling too. Hooray. Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. We are going to celebrate by shoveling.

All and all this has been a mild winter. The first snow storm actually happened in the Fall, so that doesn’t count. We didn’t really have to deal with any snowy weather until February. While the over all season hasn’t been too bad, February and March have sucked.

March 2013, in like a lion and out like a bigger, angrier lion.

Mother Nature Continues to be a Big Fat Jerk

What the hell is this?

Spring officially begins at some point on Wednesday.  The day after tomorrow.  How is Mother Nature (the jerk) honoring this change of season?

By dumping 3-5 freakin’ inches of snow on us overnight tonight?  Oh, screw you!

On an only slightly related note, is there anything lamer than weather.com’s gimmick of naming winter storms?  Come on, you idiots, snow storms are not deserving of names.  They are little piddly things compared to tropical storms.  Get over yourselves.  It’ll be hurricane season soon enough and then you twerps can have your named storms again.

Urgh.

Spring had better get its springy ass here quick.

What the Hell is That?

The wife and I have a date planned tonight.  We don’t have actual plans beyond planning to go out.  I got home from work first, changed out of my too big work shoes which are probably responsible for the agony that has returned to my right foot, opened up iTunes and airplay’d Tommy through the television’s sound system, sat down and let the cat start crawling me like a sherpa climbing Everest.

I happend to look toward the front door.

I happened to see out of the little window.

I happened to see the street light outside.

I happened to see that the street light was lighting up falling snow.

What the hell is that?  Snow?  But it can’t snow!  It’s date night and Spring is just a few days away!
