Good grief! No more snow for me, and I hereby formally request that we BAN White Christmases of over a half-inch of ground cover.
I live in the Kansas City vicinity, which is very nearly in the middle of the snowy muddle that happened over the Christmas holiday. We had about ten inches of this stuff in the particular sublet where I live, with snow drifts of three feet or more. Even getting from home to work - about two miles - was an absolute nightmare. It took our road crew almost two days to get to the interior neighborhood roads, and on that first day I had to walk eight blocks in all that crazy wind and driving snow to get home because my poor little Saturn car got stuck in a slippery mire. Fortunately, Dad and my brother-in-law came over to help me dig it out and get it home.
I clearly remember the last time we had this much snow - it was 1985, and I was in the second grade. We got something like two extra days added to our Christmas vacation that year, and all of us thought that was the coolest thing EVER. That was the first year I really got to go sledding down a big hill, too. Now, twenty-five years later, I can see why my mom and dad were not nearly as enthusiastic about all that snow as I was. What a paradigm shift, eh? And yet, I may still try my hand at snow sculpture if this stuff sticks around for a few more days.
