Somebody Turn The Snow Off!

It's January 27, and I'm already ready to cry "Uncle!" with all this snow.  Not only is it back-breaking labor to shovel it, it's at the point now that there's nowhere else to go with it.  I've got snow piles in my yard that are at eye level, and I'm not short.

At least all this snow tends to bring out a spirit of co-operation among neighbors.  Those with snow blowers help out those who don't; younger people shovel for their elderly neighbors.  Most of the time anyway; I know that in some places people start all out battles over parking spaces.  Can't blame 'em really;   you shovel a spot, someone else takes it.  Kind of a metaphor for life, isn't it?

Got Your Milk And Bread?

Okay, so we got a whole 2 inches of snow today.  That was more than enough to send people streaming into the store I work at in a panic, 'cause after all they might never be able to get in to the store ever again (I'm being sarcastic here, of course).  Here we are in the 21st century, and people still react to bad weather like they're living in a cave wearing skins.  Guess what? Snow and ice melt!  Snow plows and snow shovels move it all out of the way!  All you have to do is wait a day or maybe even just a few hours, and you're back in business again.  No need to stock up on necessities, it'll all still be there at the store tomorrow. :)
