It's Snowing!

The weather forecasters have failed me. Specifically, weather.com earlier today was predicting a few snow showers between about midnight and 3 a.m., but when I finally dragged myself out of the house to the store (mostly to get the Sunday Post, but I also bought a few groceries and picked up Chinese food for supper) at about 5 p.m., it was already snowing. Not particularly heavily and nothing was really sticking on the road, but it's still weather to sit by the (non-existent) fireplace, with a (non-existent) cat on my lap, drinking Irish coffee (which requires non-existent Irish whiskey). Clearly my existence is not designed for snow.

I like snow when it is picturesque rural snow. Even here in suburbia, it too quickly turns to a brown slushy mess that just makes everything nasty and slippery. I really do need to arrange my life so I can spend the northern hemisphere winter in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

This gave me a good laugh.
