Sick of Snow

So I went outside to see if the mailman brought me anything fun today. No dice. But the city was kind enough to re-block the end of my driveway with snow, leaving a nice sized snow boulder. Do keep in mind that all this stuff, boulder included, is now wet snow, so it's quite dense.

I get that the plows can't really do anything but block off everyone's driveway, but it's still infuriating, especially since the stuff they block us in with is always really wet/slushy stuff.

At least it's getting warmer...

Pee in the snow! That'll bring back the yellow. I've got more color-coding advice if you want it... :D

Don't worry, I'll be complaining about 90+ degree weather with 100% humidity in a few months.

Haven't you heard, the Earth is warming, soon there will be no snow anywhere. Enjoy it while you can.

spoiled brats, all of you! I'm an Easterner-cum-Chicagoan-stranded in CA DYING with all these damned Winter Olympics and MULTIPLE BLIZZARDS covering the entire Eastern half of our country AND most of Europe. A little snow at the end of your driveway? Boohoo. ;);)(Though I have often wondered if there could be a solution to that particular problem).

Holli, the snow came down wet and heavy! That boulder looks solid enough that you can roll it across the road as a present to your neighbor. :)

Ya should have seen what the plows left for me last Friday and Saturday. Instead of throwing the snow, my snow thrower was pushing out blocks! I could have built an igloo with all of them.

I should have done just that. To say she is nuts would put it kindly. The first time I met her I was sitting in my car in front of my driveway. Her first words were "You better not park there. If you do, I'm gonna call the police."

Be glad that you have a infrastructure that leaves you with nothing more to deal with than a blocked drive!

The UK more or less ground to a standstill when the snow came down here in january.

Let me see if I have this right, you live in Western New York with the lake effect and you are sick of snow? That's like the Devil saying he's sick of the heat-har har.
