It’s Not Pretty Anymore

by 41 Comments

This is what snow looks like after

1) it has sat on the road for a full week

2) on day #6, a pipe bursts, flooding the street with dirty water and clay

3) it finally gets plowed on day #7 1/2

4) and it starts snowing again

The BIG, HUGE snow mountain

The roads are a mess.

The snow is dirty and ugly and now, it’s frozen solid enough that it scraped my car trying to squeeze in and out of a parking space at my friend’s house today.

But my parking space is clear, I can resume my life outside these 4 walls, and I am happy.

Did I mention that my kids went back to school for a half day on Tuesday? Hallelujah!

And suddenly I’m busy again. There are some advantages of being snowed in. Like being able to stay in your sweats all day….

  1. Yes, that could get pretty old! We are lucky to live across the street from the elementary school. I just cross my fingers that they’ll make it back and forth without breaking their legs!

  3. I was very happy when the kids went back to school yesterday, although I’m hoping that eventually they’ll be able to send the school buses into our neighborhood. This driving kids back and forth to 4 different schools could get old really fast.

  11. That is just the strangest thing. I’ve decided that commenting systems everywhere are flawed. What do you think? I changed your info for you.

    Yes, let’s count down!! Except, of course, that I will have to face the fact that I have to prepare to teach!!

  13. Wow. That’s sooooo much snow! I would lose my mind if we had that much snow! The first snow is always so pretty and then after that I am done. Sweats sound like heaven right now! I’m so sleepy and can’t wait to get home. (Not that I get to sleep, but I get to change clothes and be more comfy!)

  18. No, it’s not bad. It sounded horrible, and I was stuck every way that I tried to go. It was one of those 26-point turns, if you know what I mean. :) It really just got the bottom runner, which is already totally bent up from a previous snow storm!

  20. Oh no! I didn’t know you scratched your car! Is it bad? Crazy parking lot. Just remember, park next to my car next time and just move whatever trash can is holding the spot. (I totally forgot to tell you, one of the spaces in my parking lot has a sign on it that says, “Did you spend 4 hours cleaning out this spot? No? Then get your a** out of it!” So makes me laugh!)

    Hey look, snowing, AGAIN!

  29. Yeah, you could say the novelty has worn off. And it’s not the snow that scratches per se….it’s the snow that melts a little and then refreezes. It looks like snow but it’s lethal ice! I once ran into some snow (misjudged a corner) and it completely bent the runners on my van.
