Bring on the snow damnit!!!

[elSicomoro]

You can tell that a possible snowstorm is coming (and I say "possible" b/c you just never know these days). I was at the grocery store earlier...supplies of milk and toilet paper were depleted (and the bread supplies probably were too).

The numbers keep going up...5-8 inches possible as of 10 minutes ago. And I'm prepared...food on hand, along with toilet paper, boots, gloves, and plenty of gas in Putt-putt. No need to worry about shoveling and salting...that's why I live in an apartment. I'll probably get up a tad earlier tomorrow, since SEPTA starts acting up the minute a rain drop falls. But given how I feel about my job (and the fact that I'm supposed to leave early tomorrow anyway for a doctor's appointment), I'll get there when I get there.

I know that the snow is a bitch for many...shoveling, salting, trying to commute to and from work, what to do with the kids if schools are closed...but I love the snow. We only got one damned snow last year...4 inches...and it disappeared in a day. The last good storm I saw was 3 years ago in DC...12 inches of snow in January, then 19 more in February...I was snowed in a total of 4 days.

I'll probably go out and make a few snow angels in the field out back. Then I'll head up to the State Liquor Store to see if they have any Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog in stock...that's pretty good stuff...and it has a hell of a kick too (20% alcohol, IIRC).

So anyway, you peeps in Philadelphia take it easy out there tomorrow, and if you see a man in black with a silly grin on his face roaming Center City or Torresdale tomorrow, just wave.
