Orange Snow

What the hell?!?!

You can call me on this, but I think that we've gotten more snow in the Northwest this year than where we used to live. I know it's only the second week of January, but we weren't supposed to get any snow here AT ALL. Talk about false advertising.

I also think that we have had much colder weather. Today our tempurature is 28 degrees, but feels like 22. Back East, well, it's 45 degrees. The weather switched coasts on us.

Al Gore must be right. Global warming, people. A VERY inconvenient truth.

We got about 2 inches of snow on Wednesday night. And once again, it threw our area into mass chaos. People abandoning cars, massive traffic jams, unplowed/untreated icy roads. It's craziness. I guess it makes for good news coverage though. They just can't stop talking about the unprecedented snowfall and plunging tempuratures.

If you ask me, I would say, "been there, done that." It's all quite boring. I really thought I would miss the snow. I guess it heard me and followed us here. Now, I wish it would go back home.

There is a difference between city snow and country snow. When country snow falls, it's a pristine white color. When city snow falls, it's orange. Yep. Orange.

I looked at one of our bedroom windows on Wednesday night and there was an eerie glow emanating from behind the shade. So, I got up to look out one of the front windows. The snow that was falling was reflecting the glow of the street lights. It was creepy.

I guess you could say it was "orange out" conditions.

What else is new?

Huzbend worked from home yesterday. But, today, he rode his mountain bike to work in the frigid temps and ice. He is one crazy dude.

K-T mauled her forehead. We've been fighting a losing battle with dry skin. She's got it really bad. Last night, during a mini-nap, she decided to scratch her forehead. Now, it's all torn up. Looks like she got in a fight with a weed whacker. This weekend, I think we have to go out and get a humidifier or something. Lotion is just not cutting it anymore.
