Oh the weather outside is frightful...

So the title of today's blog comes from a song that is today a popular Christmas carol, but it really shouldn't be a Christmas Carol anymore. It doesn't snow in December now, and the weather is hardly frightful. Fast forward to March, however, and it is a different story. Maybe someone should record the song in an Irish brogue and re-sell it as a St. Patrick's Day song. Everyone knows the old adage, which I believe is from Mark Twain, if I am not mistaken, "If you don't like the weather in New England, wait 5 minutes". So damn true. It was 70 degrees two days ago. Today we are getting slammed by snow. It doesn't make any sense, but mix New England's unstable weather pattern with a powerful El Nino which is being fueled by global warming, and you have this year's ridiculus winter.

This is the view from our front window - notice that you can't clearly make out the building across the street. That is not due to a camera issue. This is because we currently have white out conditions. Notice the street isn't plowed either. I don't know why, it's not like we have used all our plow money this year, but apparently the town of Canton SUCKS at plowing. I saw a bunch of cars that got stuck on my way home.

This is my car, taken from our balcony (which is why you can see all the snow spots from the lense getting wet). I point out my car for a few reasons. One - just pointing out that our management company has not yet plowed our driveway even though it has been snowing for almost 6 hours. Two - my poor little car just sat in traffic for over an hour to go 19 miles. :( It wasn't so happy about that trip. Normally it takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes with traffic. So that drive home sucked ass. I don't understand why we can't work from home on days like this, but we can't

This is the snow on our deck. Those of you who have been to Casa de O-G know that our deck is high up and covered. It's not easy for snow to accumulated on it. Yet there is a good couple of inches in mini-drifts in all 4 corners. Yeah, it's been snowing sideways for a while (hence the white out conditions!

So the good news is we are only supposed to get about 10 inches and then it is going to turn to rain and rain for another 10 hours... which will cause flooding, but I personally don't have to worry about flooding. So by noon tomorrow there should be no percipitation falling from the sky! Until then, stay warm and dry!
