Wrong. Third season. Every Northerner knows that. Spring: 3 months, fall: 3 months, WINTER: 6 months.

I'm getting my snow day!! Just heard on the radio that my office will be closed tomorrow.

It has been snowing continuously since noon today. Ok, I know some of you will laugh but this is the most snow I've seen. It's up to my ankles.

I lost power for a couple of hours but it's back now. There's a possibility it will go out again tonight because the wind is starting to pick up. Wind, snow, falling limbs and trees, and power lines tend to be a rather bad combination. The wet snow and slush will probably freeze tonight making for very hazardous roadways. I won't be past my front steps tomorrow.

Do you guys have snow tires over there?

Snow tires? I don't think so. This snow is highly unusual because we got much more than expected (5-7 inches) and it hasn't melted yet. If we're lucky, we get maybe 1-2 inches once or twice a year and it melts within 12-24 hours. At least the salt/sand trucks have covered the worst icy spots and the major roads are clear. My drive to work wasn't bad this morning although there were some icy patches that made me clench the steering wheel. As a lifelong Southerner, I freely admit that I can't drive on ice or snow. And I'm smart enough to avoid it whenever possible.

So we got 5 or so inches of snow yesterday, today's high is 16 F. Now look at our ten day forecast:

Not that I'm complaining. I just want good weather when I fly to and from the Bahamas.

It's about -5C outside, and partly cloudy. Some sun would be nice, because I was up too late last night writing papers for class, but it's ok.

Here further north, it's Pot Hole, Road construction, Winter, and Farking Winter. With a few brief days of "Hey! It stopped snowing!" and "Hey! We can drive on the streets agian, and it hasn't started snowing!" We call those interstitial seasons.

Still warm. Still humid. Still chance of afternoon thunderstorm. I could do with the drama.
