Undeserving #2
Feb. 12th, 2006 12:07 amI am the soul of chivalry;
A knight both brave and true.
I'm courteous to every man,
and give my lord his due.
I champion the fairer sex.
I bow to every lass.
And that, my lord, is why I've got
this pitchfork in my ass.
Tee hee!
Snow, snow, beautiful goddamned snow
Feb. 12th, 2006 01:03 pmJust got in from round #1 of shovelling. The snow is extremely powdery; it's not quite like shovelling mist, but the metaphor did occur to me.
Because it's so light, and because it's pretty windy out, it's almost impossible to accurately measure the number of inches that we've gotten so far. But 14 inches is my best guess, and there are many drifts that are in excess of two feet.
This isn't as bad as last year's Arisia blizzard (not yet, anyway), but one point of similarity is that the snow is actually blowing into beautiful sculpted dunes. I should have taken some pictures, but instead I shovelled them.
By the way, the latest report is that the snow will last until 8 PM. And we've already received the maximum number of inches that they're predicted. So my guess is that the final total will be closer to 18-20 inches.
Oh, a later addition: when we were out shovelling, Sebastian helped us. He has a child-sized red snow shovel, and since his motto lately is "I help everyone in town!", he had to help. A neighbor across the street was also shovelling, and for some reason had two tiny brown and white puppies with him. When they saw Sebastian they let out little yelps of delight, plunged out across the street, and instantly disappeared into the snow.
Eventually they struggled all the way across, popped up on our curb, shoved their way through the thicker snow on our driveway, and wagged their tails at Sebastian. He giggled like crazy, and eventually the neighbor called them and they went away again.
How's the weather where you are?
