I’m usually pretty happy to see the first snow of the season. But that excitement and admiration of beauty quick evaporates once I stare at my buried car, shovel/scrapper in hand.

Ahhhh yes I remember those Ohio winters days filled with the scraping of snow.
I’m from CLE, I remember them fondly. Of course, we moved away BEFORE I was of driving age, otherwise I may appreciate the wussy winters out here in Philly a bit more.
I think it also correlates directly to the length of driveway!
annnnnnd the ownership or lack thereof of a decent snowblower.
Here in Texas we rejoice even when it’s a slight dusting, but give us a day where schools and jobs are shut down because of the snow and we’ll practically freeze to death outside due to not wanting to leave it’s cold embracing hands. So if you want to see an entire populace as exuberant over frozen precipitation as the Weird Kid just drop some on East Texas and stand back while we slide our cars into embankments and build snow men while we wait on the tow trucks. 🙂
so odd. Snow is “meh” to Clevelanders, and inch is “The Apocalypse” to Philadelphians (there’s snow coming tomorrow, ooooh nooooooes! Milk! Bread! Batteries! Generators!)… and to you Texans it’s a “miracle”.
I though Eskimos were the ones with a slew of names for snow.
It’s great as long as you don’t have to go anywhere…
good point, actually.
Hahaha… Good observation, bad analysis. 🙂
