The Day We Got All This Snow.
By briantologist | February 9, 2010
I woke up today to find about six inches and rapidly counting of new snow, and it was really exciting.
It's true. I get to look at this all day long as I work.
No, seriously, listen: I keep hearing from my family and friends how Oklahoma keeps getting blizzard after blizzard, and all the while we’ve had the barest dusting of snow malingering barely visible at the bases of the grass shoots. And it’s not like I’m pining for snow or something; I mean, look, let’s face it, our lives are easier the less snow there is, for the most part.
But we didn’t come hear for easy winters, people. I didn’t. I mean, I’m not saying we moved here just so I could engage in some sort of he-man v. weather competition with myself; clearly the abundance of sausage was a tremendous factor as well. But it’s just nice to get some ferreal winter in while we’re eligible, and frankly when it comes down to brass tacks, it’s not that much of an inconvenience. We got these plows here, see, for the snow, and they’re pretty effing vigilant, so driving really isn’t a huge obstacle for the most part. The four-wheel drive on our beloved ’99 CR-V allows us to parallel park with ease in the worst of conditions.
And, um, well. I guess there’s also the fact that I’ve been working from home lately, too, which is to say I haven’t had to leave the house today, and have only had to snap the occasional picture of snow as I sit in the back room ruminating on content management systems, site structures, and whether I’ll have to leave the room due to the shit Smudge took 10 minutes ago in the cat box one foot from my desk.
Whatever. Snow, people. This was the day we got all this snow.
