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 3^rd YES, the 3^rd 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!
