I know it must be getting old to hear all this whining coming from the Utah Valley region. I know those of you in other parts of the country have probably heard enough from your family, friends and FB about how mind-numbingly cold it is here, how freaking many feet of snow we've gotten, and how our freeway looks like that part of a disaster movie when everyone still thinks they have time to flee the flood/volcano/aliens/etc. (Spoiler: They don't! Shame on you for your escapist hubris, flood/volcano/aliens/etc. is going to make an example out of you and kill you before you even make it past your driveway!) I know you must be sick of this. We need to bundle up and buck up, cause this is Utah, dangit, and we have the best snow on earth! (not that I would know?)
So I'm going to keep it brief. It is mind-numbingly cold here. We have gotten freaking way too many feet of snow. The freeway is a mess. I'm tired of scraping ice chips off my windshield with a 3-in. dollar store scraper. My butt and my pride are still smarting from that untimely slip in front of two cars driving by.
In my darker moments, I have started referring to the snow, in my head, as "white poo".
That's how mad I am about this.
January please die.
P.S. JJ would like to add that the snow is too bright and hurts his eyes. I'm not sure I agree with this, but I'll do anything to crucify winter right now, so YEAH! What he said!
Mish, quit your job and blog full-time. It might even pay more! Man, I don't miss my ice scraper. Think I left that baby in Denver, where it belongs.
ReplyDeleteI think I will now start calling the snow "white poo". That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with JJ, it was always hard to walk around in the snow and then only see green for like half an hour once you come inside...maybe it's a paleface/gringo problem?
ReplyDeleteReally? That's crazy. I'll bet you're right - JJ also blamed it on his sensitive blue eyes. You silly gringos.
