OH THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL!!
Where the heck do I live?!! I had no idea that living here in Bremerton would be so filled with snow days!! This is the 3rd YES, the 3rd snow fall of the winter season!!! I live on a very steep hill so when it snows I am out with my boots and mittens on shoveling away! I shovel my whole street. Yes, I am that crazy lady who plows by hand.
Hey, today I was out shoveling and I was up at the intersection and along come one of the city's snow plows, not the large ones but the ones on the big pick-up trucks. The guy in the truck looks at me and off he goes. I think I might have said a word right there! It would have taken him about 25 seconds to go down my street and turn around and go back up. I know there are only 5 houses on the dead-end part of the road, but dang it we pay taxes too. We pay a larger tax per house than any of the houses down the street that get the plow!!
I was then on a mission - the mission to completely rid the street of snow from the end of my property all the way up to the intersection. I did - and I do have to say my plowing is a lot prettier than the city's!!
Sure was a great cardio work-out too!! I sent pictures to my husband in Anchorage, Alaska and he said they only have a foot of snow - so on the whole "sliding snow scale" I call Bremerton the winner!!!
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
and since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of Pausing,
and I've bought some corn for popping,
the lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

The first time it snowed here this year we received 11 yes that is eleven inches of rain to melt it !!! There are roads still washed out - :)
Jo, been some crazy weather this year. Yowser on 11", yuk.
I also sent you an e-mail about this blog, FYI
Duane, Thanks so much!
Bill, I am sick of winter too!! Oh you said one of my favorite words - Boston!! 65!! That is bikini weather here in the Seattle area!!
Rich, I am wore out!! lol!! But it was nice to be out and getting some good "work" exercise :)
Uh, oh. More snow is on the way. Hope you're feeling fit and ready to shovel again.
It is so strange, too. Every winter I seem to have enough clients to always be out in the nasty stuff.
Now, having business is a good thing, but it sure would be nice to sit on my sofa reading while the snow comes down!
Ah well, I would not give up my job for anything - I'm hooked.
Hey Jo,
It's been crazy weather here in Phoenix, we haven't seen the 70s in weeks. Sorry, I know it's a bad joke, but I lived in Mich. for 16 years and those pictures brought back some pretty vivid memories. I hear that WA is beautiful in the Summer and Fall though. Good luck with the snow.
Don, I didn't have one last year so I bought one in October - just in case and a bag of sand for ice :)
Duane, Yes it stopped. This morning it has almost melted away.
Joy, When!! I am glad you had to go out in it!! I had a cancellation because of all the school closure drama!! lol!!
Vinnie, I spent 3 years in the Mojave Desert so I know both worlds :). Funny thing one winter there was a horrid snow storm 11 inches!! I think in 3 days it was all gone. Sometimes I miss the desert in the winter!!
