If only there were some way for Santa to guide his sleigh. Some high-powered form of light...

I'm so done with snow. But at least I've done my grocery shopping in advance.

Snow is AWESOME!

God Dammit!

I hope it stops so I can pickup the niece/nephew at the airport on c-mas day.

Relax guys, it's supposed to turn into rain tomorrow morning and then continue as rain/snow through Christmas. That should do a lot to get this snow pack cleared away.

...or make the ice worse once it freezes over at night.

Tomorrow, I get to choose between driving in freezing rain, a wintry mix, or straight out snow, depending on when I choose to leave for the parents house. So, yeah. Yay winter...

#6, true. Of course, that was supposed to happen last night and it didn't really materialize. It's only going to get down to 30, which means with a high of 35 it's going to get back above freezing fairly early.

With the forecasted temperatures it's going to melt and refreeze each night, anyway. I'll take some additional rain to keep things melting any day.

Either way, I'll be on the sidewalk watching whatever carnage or lack thereof ensue with my video phone out.

Grats on the White Christmas. Now stop whining and enjoy it, you west coast wimps.

I've never understood why it's so important to some people to have a white Christmas. It really can't be all because of a song Bing Crosby used to sing over 60 years ago, can it?

I hope the roads thaw before I get back.

Nice to play in, hard to dance in. And you can't cancel Christmas in Whoville. I don't know about anywhere else though. :p
