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...

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

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.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)

Thanked: 234Be 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.
