Prop snow

[dampscribbler]

We've had about 30 different kinds of snowfall this morning, ranging from hail-like ice pellets to chicken-feather-sized chunks.  Until about 20 minutes ago none of it was sticking.  Now it's snowing those big, fluffy, romantic flakes that you see in the movies -- in fact, a few minutes ago I watched out the window as it snowed the kind of snow you see in a movie when the prop department isn't all that good at what they do and you can't help but know it's being thrown by a machine 3 feet off camera.  Except it was real. 

And now it's sticking.  Which means my plans to get out of the house this morning and go, well, anywhere else, are ill-advised since getting back in time to get Maggie from daycare could be challenging if not downright hazardous. 

I've been in this house for going on five weeks now.  I'm getting mean.

We've been having that here, too, except that it has yet to stick. My walk to the dentist's office was a damp affair, but at least I didn't have to get out the car.

A walk sounds good, even if it is damp. I need to do that.

Boy, I was all over Washington county this morning...literally from one end to the other, and I didn't see any on the roads anywhere. I think you are safe. :) Get yourself out of the house!

Good to know, but we're sort of stuck for now as we've got lots of chores to finish before a class tonight. Maybe I can get out tomorrow!

Darn it. I hope you escape tomorrow!!! I know I am! It is my babysitter/pilates day :D

I'm really going to try. Maggie has daycare an extra hour tomorrow too, and it looks like it won't rain or snow, so I need to plan something good -- I've been dreaming of a museum visit for a while now, maybe I'll do that.

Oh you definitely should :D

Oh, cabin fever is not fun! *hugs*

Thanks. I think it will get better soon. But I'm not very happy about the fact that I really need to do the taxes. :/

Oh - I am so sorry you said the "t" word.. I keep forgetting.

[dampscribbler.livejournal.com]

Don't forget, or you'll get hit with the "p" word -- penalties!

yeah - I know! I'm such a 'last minute' person!
