Minnesota winters suck

[ostarella]

I've been debating all morning whether to try shoveling out today or wait until tomorrow. High today is only supposed to be 5 degrees F, tomorrow up to a whopping 15. I don't really need to go anywhere - well, unless I get so stressed out trying to decide if I should shovel that I smoke extra heavy. But I've already missed today's mail delivery (if I even had any mail to be delivered) and I have food enough in the house, sooo...

I'm not being lazy, honest! But we got about a foot of snow, which blew into drifts, and then the snowplows came through, so I've got a 10 foot long section of sidewalk that's packed snow... and it's only 5 degrees. I was having some heart problems when I was working outside at 25 degrees, so yeah... not leaping toward that possible adventure. And I never thaw out, either. I won't warm up now until sometime in May...

And so yeah... in a very bitchy mood today.

I hate winter.

lmao! There's me getting all excited that you've got snow!

Stay in... no point shovelling it then finding you have to do it again tomorrow. Only do it when you really need to.

I hate rework ;-)

Yeah, I've just taken a quick look around the neighborhood (via an upstairs window) and the only ones who've cleared their sidewalks are the people who have the big tractor-style snowblowers - so me and my little electric shovel will just stay cosy for today. :p
