Oh, It Doesn’t Show Signs of Stopping…

It’s snowing.

“oh, the weather outside is frightful”

Which makes me want to look at pics of Richard, In Sweaters.

“but the fire is so delightful”

I don’t mind the snow but 10 inches in one day is a bit much. It’s fluffy snow though, so it’s very pretty. It won’t feel so pretty tomorrow, when the temperature drops and the electricity (or internet! *gasp*) goes out.

“and since we’ve got no place to go”

Currently only emergency vehicles are allowed out on the roads. That’s perfectly fine by me, I have nowhere I have to be. We are out of Ketchup though. Milk, bread, fresh fruit, we can survive without, but Ketchup? This is serious business!

“oh, it doesn’t show signs of stopping”

This reminds me of the time we had a blizzard when my boyfriend was home from college. I was so angry at my parents (and his) for not letting us out on the roads so that we could see each other. We lived 15 miles apart, or I probably would have walked.

“but as long as you love me so”

The nerve of those fussy grown-ups, standing in the way of our love! It would be two whole weeks before I saw him again. It was cruel I tell you, cruel! I might have even pledged to pay my own bail if I was arrested for being out in blizzard conditions…

“when we finally kiss goodnight, how I’ll hate going out in the storm”

It’s a good thing our football team had their play-off game yesterday, instead of today (Go Colts!) I lived in Denver one winter when their football team played in the Super Bowl. There was a blizzard then too, people were stranded all over the place, it was a mess; but you better believe the team made it to the airport. Nothing stops an American Football game! As fans currently braving the 5 degree (F) temperatures in Wisconsin can attest.

So to everyone out there dealing with difficult winter weather, keep warm and safe!

…but do it with more style than me.

“let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!”
