Damn old man winter!


Looks like our plans to go back to Eville for Thanskgiving might be foiled by Old Man Winter. And, since it's been a while since I've mentioned how much I HATE living in NY (particularly over the winter), I feel like now is a good time: I HATE LIVING IN NEW YORK (even though there are REALLY nice people here :)). Seriously, old man winter is going to drop mass quantities of snow on us starting tonight and lasting until Saturday afternoon. Not only here, because that would maybe be OK...but through Buffalo, Erie, and Cleveland (our exact route). Our plans were to leave Saturday after O's soccer games, but we might not get out until Sunday. Thankfully, I think Eddie has extra vacation days, so we can maybe stay until Sunday or Monday after Thanksgiving. If not, it will hardly be worth it. Of course, meteorologists get paid for "guessing" and are often wrong. I'm hoping this is one of those times. We'll be ready to leave Saturday...just in case. Notice in the pic above our stakes marking our driveway. For those of you not from NY, that's so our snow plow service can find the driveway to plow it. We pay 240.00 a year for our snowplow service. An absolute necessity here in NY.

$240 a year for snow plowing? That is insane! Just buy a snowblower and be done with it.
