No Blizzard for Us

In fact, hardly even any snow for us! I'm not sure if that makes me happy or not. In general, not. I'm very jealous of everyone that is getting large quantities of snow! Here, everyone is in a tizzy over a little bit of rain, some sleet/freezing rain, and a random flurry of snow here and there. To be fair, icy streets are really annoying and treacherous. Still, I would rather have snow. The downside to large amounts of snow here, is that it rarely stays cold enough for the snow to stick around more than a couple days, so no one learns/gets used to driving on streets that have a certain amount of snow on them. Ugh.

Pretty much my least favorite part about living here is driving to and from work when the roads are slick and the idiots are out and about driving on them. Although, I guess I can't complain too much, since I almost caused an accident myself this morning getting to work. A light turned yellow in front of me, and I didn't decide soon enough if I should brake or if I could make it through. Luckily, the person waiting at the light on the cross street saw that I wasn't going to be able to stop and didn't hit me. Thank God!

I was supposed to be going up to Manhattan and then Topeka tomorrow for a website meeting, then the Turf Conference. Yeah, it's funny, I know. Me, going to the Turf Conference. Anyway, between the weather and this nasty cough I've had for a week now, I'm going to skip out. Apparently they do actually have snow up towards Manhattan. Driving through blowing snow before dawn is not my idea of fun for work. Definitely not.

Now to figure out what to do with myself for the rest of the evening...cross-stitch, another sewing project, wrapping Christmas presents, washing dishes (or not!), find a book to read....
