Shovels In The Night

 

1. I lived thru the great Boston Blizzard of 1978.  The snowdrifts were halfway up my windows.  And I was on the second floor.  Having learned how to drive in Minnesota in the winter, in a VW Beetle, I pretty much understood how to drive in snow.  I was the last one to leave the office in the City that Monday evening, and I passed a LOT of abandoned cars on the drive home.  My instincts told me to throw a few days’ work into my briefcase, and to stop on the way and lay in a good supply of booze and food—which was all GOOD, as they CLOSED the City of Boston for the next FOUR days.  When I got bored, I was literally doing swan dives off my balcony, into the drifts…

2. We are having very light snow here, gone by the end of the day. Right now they are predicting 6 to 8 inches (yeah I know not a blizzard) for tomorrow. I just hope like most of our winter weather predictions - that they are so very wrong again. Son has a doc appt tomorrow and with him - I really don’t want to go out in that, if I don’t have to. However, it is a late day appt - so maybe in the end, it will all work out.

   We love not having to shovel - but we are so over the cold. Can’t wait to get the heck out of dodge and get back to some less than winter weather. Heading south and a bit west (can’t take the humidity of the southeast).

3. F**K!  We live in Aspen CO, and we can’t get ANY snow to save our lives!!!  We gotta about a MILLION people flying in this weekend for President’s Week vacation, and they’re gonna have to dodge all the greenery on the slopes…
