Mass snowstorm December 2009
Looks like we will most definitely be having a white Christmas this year!
We got a pretty good snowstorm over the weekend December 19th – 20th - and personally, I think it’s about time! I like snow. Not a ton, but I really do not mind it until the holidays are over. After Jan 1st though – I’m ready for summer. : )
It seemed like it would never get here. And I actually stayed up till about 1 am on Saturday night – just to see the first flakes falling. Some were saying it was a “blizzard.” I’m not thinking so though. I really didn’t hear any high winds and we didn’t get any huge drifts or anything. No power outages or anything like that.
Was not as fun for me as it was years ago because my kids are all grown up and the excitement of getting them all excited and wondering was just not there. Hell, my daughter wasn’t even here for it. She was working, then going to a friends house after work. So – I was left to anticipate it all by myself.
Here are a couple of pictures I managed to get of it.
This is right outside my door – looking left of the *yard* if you will…
It looks kinda pretty I think. My kitties were tweaking everytime the snowplow went by though. Was actually funny to watch them get all bananas everytime one went buy!
I’m not sure they knew what the hell was going on. And, I really do not know if cats hear as well as dogs do but if they do I can understand the reasons for tweaking.
This next picture shows the huge pile of snow the bobcat left to the right of my door! Instead of shoveling, the maintenance dudes have a guy work the bobcat to clear our walkways. And this is the result…

And this final picture is looking straight ahead – from my door. Pretty I think…

I love the greyness of the sky. I don’t know why really. It’s just kinda funky. Kinda like the monster has left and this is what he left behind… and the grey skies represent his leaving…
It’s calm outside – except for the sound of the plows and snow blowers… Insulated.
Snow really IS a blanket in the most typical sense. Don’t cha think?
It’s so pretty! I want to see and play in some snow!!!!
Hair bows – It IS pretty. But it gets old quick – when it gets dirty…You should come play in the snow sometime! It can be really fun!
