So yesterday I posted about our 4th snow day in a row and how a second blizzard was on our way with an estimated 6-12 inches. Well, guess how much we ended up getting?

Nothing!!! We received absolutely nothing.
What. A. Bummer!!!
I won't lie to you. I've been praying for a blizzard since December. Shoot, I'd be happy with a 3 month blizzard!
We Need MOISTURE!!
Yep, we received 12" of snow but I'm greedy...I wanted more!!
Well we are sure enjoying the snow while it lasts. I even kicked the boys outside Saturday (while Yahoo was stuck in bed with a fever) and made them play in the snow because, around here, you never know how long nice weather (winter, spring, summer or fall) will last.
I'm kicking the boys outside to play in the snow when they get home from school today too! It's absolutely gorgeous outside today; sunny with no wind.
Can somebody please tell me why piling all the snow in the middle of the road and only clearing the intersections makes sense? So if my friend lives on the left side of the road I have to drive past her house, do a u-turn at the intersection and then turn around to drive into her driveway. I've never seen snow cleared this way, ever. (Okay, stepping down from my Indiana road clearing rant.)
I'm glad I kicked the boys out to play when I did because all this snow will probably have melted away by Saturday when the temps are to be up in the 40's. Well, that's what the weatherman says...shoot they missed a whole blizzard maybe they'll be wrong about the melting temps too!!

Indiana born and raised-have to totally agree with you -makes no sense to me to push the snow to the middle of the road! And I would LOVE a 3 month blizzards as well!!!
ReplyDeleteFinally!! Someone who agrees with me on the wonder a 3 month blizzard :)
DeleteThis South Dakota/Minnesota girl also agrees with you about the snow in the middle of the road. They do the same thing in Meade. I have never seen that before. I was afraid I was going to get stuck turning into my own driveway!
ReplyDeleteCrazy isn't it?? Is it that they don't have the right snow removal equipment? I don't think Kansas towns are set up any differently than Indiana/South Dakota/Minnesota towns that makes leaving snow in the middle of the street the only option? Is it just that no one has ever demonstrated a different method? Personally, the snow removal guys are more than welcome to take ever bit of snow in town and dump it on my lawn. If that means it was a giant muddy mess, i wouldn't complain. It would just remind me of an Indiana spring!!
