Snow


It snowed this weekend. Not just a little bit... it DUMPED snow. From late Saturday afternoon til around 1 on Sunday it just snowed.

Granted I'm happy the snow came on a weekend... it still doesn't mean I have to like it. I spent about 3 hours shoveling in Havertown yesterday. Did my parents driveway and sidewalk, then shoveled out the 3 cars in the driveway (my parents are on vacation in Jamaica.. so I thought I'd be nice and shovel out their cars). Then my brother drove me home to Jersey (the roads weren't too bad... but it certainly wasn't the best driving conditions) and I spent another hour or so shoveling out MY car. It was under so much snow that I wasn't even sure it was mine.

I'm in so much pain today its pitiful. I didn't do the best job of 'lifting from the knees' as I should have. I tired... really I did. But there was just so much snow!

I think in Jersey we ended up getting anywhere from 18-24 inches. Craziness I tell you! I had to wear snow pants to walk to my car today because the apartment complex hand't shovled any of the walkways yet.

But the roads are fine now. The shoveling is done. And next year this time I'll be in the South.

... and that, my friends, makes me happier than you could imagine. Any reservations I may have had about moving were answered yesterday. I have no intentions of dealing with another north-east winter. No thanks!

How much longer til spring??
