WARNING: The person writing this post is very grumpy.
Why? Because we are supposed to be entering the Break Up season (otherwise known to other, more temperate regions as Spring). For us it means that the snow starts to GO AWAY. Yes. I'm making shooing motions here.
It is snowing, and is supposed to snow some more. And some more.
The raven mating season is past. They made their water-dripping noise, and have gone on to do their own family thing. The water-dripping noise usually coincides with actual WATER DRIPPING.
It warmed up, I got one tiny icicle drip off my roof. And...nothing. Everything froze up again.
Two weeks ago I plugged in my freezer(it's outside) because we'd had about a week with above freezing temperature.
I had to plug it back in again. Grrrr. It was below zero when I got up this morning. GRRRRRR.
For a while I didn't have to plug in the car. I had to plug it in this morning. GRRR.
My whole yard is hard-packed snow, except for the new stuff falling now and I am still in winter boots and coat. I'd really like to wear my Converse but that is not going to happen any time soon unless I want to fall and break myself. And have cold feet.
I don't WANT to sweep off the damn car AGAIN.
I'm wearing sunglasses while driving to deal with snow glare...
The people in my building at work who smoke have peppered the parking area with ash that is ground into snow. So delightful.
And the yellow snow for which my dogs are partly responsible, that's just gross and I want it GONE.
Not to mention people burning all KINDS of crap: oil, coal, tires, grandpa's recliner...so that we are choking and gacking every time we go outside. Especially in town. It's the worst air EVER.
My nature is to look on the bright side and I'm fighting the urge to say, "Well it could be worse, it could be..." BUT NO! I'M GRUMPY AND BY GOLLY I GET TO BE GRUMPY!
I'm going to go to work now, and on the way I will be irked by at least ten more things that are pissing me off about this extended Winter.
So there!
