And … let the spring fever begin!
Rule No. 2 about Iowa winters
February 17, 2010 | Iowa, Weather, Winter
Never, under any circumstances, ever, say, “You know? We’ve gotten so much snow, we can’t possibly get more … can we?” Because when you do? You will.
Oops. How’d that get in there?
There’s a snow fence under there.
See?

Every time you build a snow fort for the kids?
The next day, a blizzard will blow through and close it up. Every. Damn. Time.

That’s a bench under there.
There too.
Here, you can see better without all the snow.
With snow.
Without.
With snow.
Without.
With snow.
Without.
This drift is up to my armpits.
This one’s as tall as I am.
There’s a sidewalk under there somewhere.
Up to my knee in snow.
Driving conditions.
The mailman delivered today!
He had to walk through this! I don’t
think he gets paid enough.
I’ve lost count of the snow days

The school jinxed it when it sent a note home last week that said, “Beginning Monday, Feb. 8, we will be adding 30 minutes to our school day for the rest of the 2009-2010 school year.” You know. To make up for a gazillion snow days.
Which means, of course, that Monday, Feb. 8, was a SNOW DAY.
Yep. Sure enough. I bet Tuesday, Feb. 9 is too.
I tried to post photos, but WordPress is being all hinky. Will try again tomorrow.
We got an invitation to a wedding in the Bahamas in May. I’m SO wishing we could go NOW and hang out until the wedding.
PSA: For anyone who thinks I complain too much: Go away. Nothing to see here. We got nothing but unicorns and rainbows in these parts. Yay. Whee. Can’t wait for more snow. Whoo-hoo.
Sick of snow

I know some smart and funny people. My friend Bob, who lives in Washington, D.C., wrote this delightful ode to snow. Thanks, Bob! I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Oh, the weather outside is flaky,
And my nerves are kinda shaky,
And since I’ve no place to go,
I am so sick and tired of the snow!
It doesn’t show signs of warming,
And the drifts are slowly forming,
The temperature’s way down low,
And I’m so sick and tired of the snow!
When I’ve shoveled it all at last,
And the driveway is finally clear,
The plow once again comes past,
Piling it all up to here!
It’s certainly not too pleasing
When melted snow’s refreezing,
And I really want you to know:
I am so @&#^ sick of the snow!!!

You think you’re driving anywhere tonight? Ha!
Crazy snow drift from the last storm.
