What the heck am I supposed to do for the next four hours? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:all_ahoo:690802 2008-12-21T23:43:07Z 2008-12-21T23:43:30Z Oh my god, winter. Enough already.<br /><br />Let's take a look at the past few days, shall we?<br /><br />Friday: Snowy McSnowSnow. Thankfully the zoo closed at 2:00 and we were all allowed to leave with no time penalty. Got home about an hour after it started snowing.<br /><br />Saturday: I work Saturdays. Woke up to a foot of snow on my car and shitty shitty roads. Was told I could come in at noon and work a half day. Spent roughly an hour cleaning off and shoveling out car. Drove to work on roads that were <i>still</i> in shitty condition at 11:30. WTF, road crews? That's the kind of thing I expect from East Bumblefuck, not a town 20 minutes outside Boston. Whatever. Got to work, shoveled out the three feet of snow that had blown in front of the building door. Worked. Drove home at 4:00, roads still in crap-ass condition.<br /><br />Today: Got my ass out of bed and went grocery shopping at 8:30 before Storm, Part Deux arrived. Did inside stuff all day while roughly three inches of snow fell. Around 3:00, snow changed to rain. Around 5:30, temperature plummeted and rain changed to stinging, biting sleet of doom.<br /><br />So right now there are three inches of snow on the ground, completely saturated with water, and it has dropped below freezing. Yeah. I just went out and shoveled my car AGAIN so I wouldn't be iced in tomorrow (snow saturated with water is HEAVY, y'all), but it is still sleeting. I fully expect my car to be frozen to the ground tomorrow.<br /><br />Winter doesn't usually suck my ass this hard. What the hell?
