I hate snow!

I drive about 20 miles to work and have to shovel regularly, and it sucks. Truly, if I had more money I'd move somewhere warm in a heartbeat. But I have a nice house in Salt Lake that would cost over a million dollars if it was in a warm state like California or Florida, so I may be stuck here.

Snow, Snow Go Away

About a month ago I posted about having the winter blahs. But it was ok. It was February. February is always snowy and it feels like winter will never end but March was just around the corner. March! The officially beginning of spring! It was a beacon of light on the horizon. Then last weekend winter decided to mock us and dump another half meter of snow on central Canada. Thank you winter! We're now only about 40cms short of a record snowfall here in Montreal. Parts of Canada have already set snowfall records this year. I'm bloody sick of this unending snow.

And I'm not the only one. I probably shouldn't complain too much - after all since I live in an apartment and don't work out of the house I don't have to worry about shovelling snow or trudging through it. Nor do I have any winter cabin trips planned that partly depend on snow plows like the Yarn Harlot did.

"Damn. I hope the plow has been." As we considered what we were up against, our trepidation only grew. If the plow had not been, then there was no way to drive up to the house. If we couldn't drive up to the house, we would have to hike in all of my stuff. Six days in the woods demands a lot of stuff. Water (the well water has not been tested) food, yarn, clothes..... it was a lot, and carrying it a kilometre appealed about as much as licking yaks does. We repeated the mantra all the way up. Please plow. Please plow. Please plow.

Mrs Loudshoes chronicles life in the suburbs of Canada and right now isn't quite buying the global warming phenomenon.

It started snowing last Friday evening, and didn't stop until early Sunday morning. I'm not kidding, we got a good 20 inches of snow, which is perfectly ridiculous for March. If there was a Customer Service Department at the Bureau in Charge of Weather, you know I'd be writing a scathing letter of complaint.

It would seriously suck to be in charge of customer service at such a department these days.

The bump up of the Daylight Saving Time isn't helping us out with our reaction to all this ruddy snow either as A Dash of Diva points out.

I just want spring to arrive, once and for all. No more snow (and I say this, knowing full well that we're getting even more of this crap tomorrow), temperatures above 0...that's not too much to ask for, is it really? It sure as hell would make more sense given the sun's new schedule. Yeesh.

Mira reminds us that winter isn't all bad.

When it is too cold out side for a hike and I have no craft project on mind I love being lazy and take my day easy, watching the TV, reading a good book and surfing the net for craft inspiration... Yes, those are my winter days. I love it!

Yes, that's true. Even though I'm bloody sick of the white stuff it does grant one a good excuse to sit curled up under a blanket with a good book and pretend that the rest of the world doesn't exist. But spring is just around the corner...right???
