Snow, snow, more snow
We got seven inches of snow today. The barn is in the area of town that gets plowed later/less often than the main streets. My two-wheel drive car likes to pretend it’s an ice skate.
Surprisingly, it all turned into a non-issue.
My little car zoomed through the roads like a champ, happier than it’s been in months–probably because the snow provided some traction on that interminable ice.
I saw plenty of big trucks sliding all over–one almost rear-ended me at an intersection–but my little car? Like a day at the beach, with less sand.
I love my car.
The barn owner seemed surprised when I showed up. Darn it. I’d have gone shopping if I’d known I could have used the snow as an excuse–bet no one was in the stores today. (Kidding! Don’t fire me!) The mares were happy I showed up, though. And I got to play with the foals a bit, which is always fun. See? I knew there was a reason I didn’t call in snow-bound (you call in sick; we call in snow-bound).
Ooh: 237 billion cubic feet of snow fell on the city today. The news just said. I’m so glad I’m not responsible for shoveling any of that.

It’s snowing. Again. Still? Ick. I’m afraid to look and see what the damage is. An inch? Two? Hopefully no more than that.
If you do decide you miss this stuff, let me know. I’ll ship some to you. We have enough here; we won’t miss it. ;0)

We finally got rain. That means it is above 32 degress. AMEN! I do not envy you. I hate snow.
