this morning i woke up to snow... actually i woke up to ivy knocking on my door and saying "snow...snow... snow..." as i have never actually lived in a place that really snowed before (other than salt lake city and then it was just always covered in snow) this was a very cool occurrence. no pun intended. my car got to see snow for the first time! i had ivy take pictures since my camera was at work... i'll have to post them later.
let me tell ya, snow is heavy. i didn't realize the slush could be that heavy. irwin & travis stuck my snow brush thingy in my trunk the other day so i had to get it out, and when i went to lift the trunk i felt some considerable weight there. i didn't even have to really close the trunk; it sort of just dropped. i found it somewhat ironic seeing my texas inspection sticker as i'm wiping snow off of my front windshield. at any rate it was kind of cool (esp since the roads weren't covered in it). anyone want to come pick me up for work when that does happen? (i still have yet to really drive in snow)
a coworker suggested that i try walking, biking, skiing to work when the roads do get covered. now i know i only live like 5 miles away from work, but seriously if i don't walk to work when it's nice outside, why in the world would i do it when there's snow?!
