Finally, a storm

We haven’t had a single strong snowfall this entire winter. Sure, there have been a couple light ones from time to time but it’s nothing like the first year I lived here. There are plenty of places where there isn’t even any snow on the ground. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I was woken up at 4am by the lights and sirens of plows going by my window. It certainly hasn’t been any time in the last twelve months. David and I had this big New Year’s party this year and were hoping for a really serious snowstorm to scare our friends from the south. That almost worked with a good storm the day people arrived but it quickly disappeared. I don’t think anyone was too impressed.

Well it looks like all of that is about to change. The weather forecasts are all conflicting but right now the totals through Thursday look to be somewhere around a foot of snow, some ice and sleet, and winds gusting up to 50 mph. This may not sound like much fun to other people but I am really excited about that. If we do actually see winds around 50 and big huge snow drifts, I will have to go outside and run around in it. Let’s just hope that this doesn’t end up like all the other forecasts this winter and fizzle out at the last minute. That’d be disappointing.
