February 6, 2010 - Be careful what you wish for!

That is the truth. Just a little over a week ago I was wishing that it would snow during the day so I could watch it. Well, I watched it last Saturday as it dumped a foot plus on us; I watched it yesterday as it dumped a measly 4 inches on us even though it snowed most of the day (the temperature was above freezing, so a lot melted as it fell); and, I watched it snow all day today as it dumped at least another 8 plus inches on us. And, they say it may snow again Wednesday, that after a little "lite" freezing rain on Tuesday. Just what we need!

Today, however, the first time I shoveled, the snow was still slushy and heavy. I didn't go out again until it stopped around 5pm today, and that was a very light snow, kinda like the one last week, so it was not too difficult to shovel.

I'm getting quite good at cleaning the can off. I try and do it while it's cold to keep the ice from forming on it. I use the shovel on the top, and since the shovel is plastic, I don't scratch it up too badly. Easier than using something else, like a broom or something.

My wife hates this; my sons hate this; but me, I finally feel like we have had a winter's winter!

Tomorrow - Starbucks! More headway on Don Quixote! Past page 700. Only about 190 pages to go!

Didn't sleep too good last night. Hope I do tonight.
