Cold Excuses
In addition to its inherent beauty, snow has another invaluable quality. I've discovered that it serves as an ideal excuse. That stuffy cocktail party? Can't make it. Church? The roads aren't plowed yet. Tedious errand? Too dangerous. C'mon snow- I'm looking for a reason to stay home on New Year's Eve.

That's a lot of snow. I won't whine about our measly four inches or so.

The picture is a tad misleading, as that's the work of a plow in a parking lot.

*ponders the dilemma of how to shovel a foot of snow from a gravel driveway*

Stay home NYE? Get shit-faced. Have wife hide the car keys. Play The Kinks at 11 (not the time but volume). Put it on a loop until half past midnight then pass out.

Gotta let 'er melt, UL.
I've given the matter some thought, BGO. The current plan to to catch Hot Club of Cowtown at Knuckleheads on the 30th. And if I can scare up a driver, I'll have a few "man cans" at the juke joint. Then I can happily stay home on NYE.

I'd still use the picture as a good excuse, though. And I inadvertently re-measured our snow - it's eight inches, easy, almost over the tops of my boots.

And the drifts, GD. Don't discount the drifts.

There's all my snow!!!! You're hoarding it. Not fair. Someone needs to learn to share.
Freakin' misguided jet stream.

I think of The Lou as being colder and snowier than KC, RG. You'll get yours.
