Still Cold outside... and now,,, snow

Yeah, it's still cold outside. Guess I should be happy that it's about 4F warmer today than yesterday at a balmy 3F. But now we got snow.. supposed to snow through the day to about 3-5"

Drive in to work was slow due to a wreck that ended up closing one of the two lanes.
To make matters worse, the car in front of us got hit in the butt by the car that was in the left lane and now trying to get into the only lane open.
So, we had to wait for them to drive up onto the sidewalk so we could move.

Mayhaps that will be the only exciting thing that will have happened to me today, so I thought I would share,,
Yah, I know. I guess you had to be there :)

I could make up stuff you know? talked about the guy in the car that got hit getting out of his car with a fully loaded semi-automatic and started shooting up the other dude's car and the cops that were on the scene for the original accident were forced to take 'em out...

But, I ain't like that... Gots ta keep it real!

Tony!

Cold out today

You may have heard that when folks don't have much to say, they talk about the weather just to pass the time (or fill a blog posting). Well.. right now it's -1.5F outside. Just a couple of days ago it was 40 and we were out doing some christmas shopping and gassed up the car.

Okay, I got the weather out of the way.. (Did I mention, it's freaking cold out there?!?!)
I've been listening to Australian radio lately and it's weird because it's now late spring - early summer out there and they're all talking about hitting the beaches while I'm dreading the scoopable snow that's sure to be coming just around the corner.

Growing up on the US East Coast (and now living in the midwest ---ugh---), It's hard to imagine thoughts of Christmas when Summer is rolling upon us. Seems odd.

Having the holidays in the winter gives you something nice/fun/not-so-dreary to think about when the sky is grey and the end of your driveway just got filled up by a $#&^#$&* snow plow right after you got it cleared out... but I digress...

Now I'm wondering what holidays they may have in Aussie lands that we don't in the us that may help them get through the dark crummy nights of winter... Guess the next question would be just how crummy are winters there... Guess I'm-a-gonna be googling later this morning :)

If anyone reads this other than me, thanks I guess, and have a great day/afternoon/evening etc.

Tony!
