February 23, 2011

If I were to develop a line of digital brushes for use on scrapbook pages that were anti snow…

Blurryaidan

Here are some phrases you might see:

Snow Sucks!

or

Snowpocalypse my ass!

or

'snow what I think? Snow SUCKS!

or

Silly Snow—YOU SUCK!

or

You'll have to pry my snow shovel out of my cold hand…literally, because my hand is actually frozen to the shovel!

IMG_8157

or

Snow what! I'm burning activity points with every shovel full.

or

Always remember this…snow SUCKS!

or

Believe…(that snow sucks!)

IMG_8158

or

It's truly a miracle (that I don't up and move to Miami!)

or

Snow=suckage!

IMG_8179

I don't know about you, but even with all those exclamation marks, I'm thinking this set would sell like hot cakes all across the upper midwest.

Signed,

Ms. I'm Snow Done with It

    Cathy, I feel your pain. Nevertheless, those are beautiful pictures. I am sending Spring vibes in your direction. May the sun shine and the days get warmer (fast)….

    With love, Leora

    oh Cathy you are truly wonderful!! You must have heard me cussing at the snow too. I’m in Ohio and soooooo done with this snow/cold. Told my husband to get a job transfer and we are packing and moving south. This snow has got to go NOW!!! Thank you for making me laugh this morning. By the way my oldest is in college in Miami and she calls us to brag about going to the beach on the weekends still and wearing shorts/tank tops. Have a good day anyways and I’m praying for warm/sunny days to come and stay.

    I am so sorry. Last winter when we got 40+ inches of snow in a week, I kept telling myself how unusual this is and it won’t happen again in VA. That got me thru that winter. This winter we have had maybe 10 inches total. I don’t know how people do it winter after winter. The summers better be amazing in MN!

    Where can I buy a set? 😉 I would buy a few, I have many friends that would use them too!

    What’s even worse for me is my husband is interviewing for a new job, in a new career and we could literally move to anywhere we want in the country, actually the world… yet we still want to stay in Winter Wonderland! We love our area, just get tired of winter right about NOW!

    First of all, I can’t believe so many people are up at 5 and 5:30! (the previous commentors) but, yeah. I woke up to not more snow – which we had a fresh 10″ of on Monday, thank you very much, but ZERO degrees here in lovely central Pennsylvania. A hearty DITT to the O on the so being done with the snow. And you could design all those brushes for anti COLD, too. I’m so over both! But thanks for making me laugh about it. The view out my window is – at the very least – picturesque. Sigh.

    Too funny Cathy! I live in the Colorado Rockies and we always have a lot of snow, but this year we have extra. At least I can enjoy it by going for a cross country ski out my door, since I certainly can’t run this time of year. But I start to get sick of it in April and May, and then I’ll be looking to buy your digital brushes to make a page!

    I live in what is called “The Frozen Tundra of Utah” because of how cold it gets here. This is the second year the city water to our house has frozen, even with our best efforts to keep the water running in our house day and night. The cold is just toooo cold. We do have water coming into our house via a garden hose from our neighbor’s spigot to ours, but the last time this happened we didn’t thaw until mid April. I have learned that I can handle the snow. It is the -0º weather that wears me down. We’re all having tests of endurance this winter, aren’t we?!

    I am sooooo with you on the snow. We were out for dinner last night and came out of the restaurant and it was snowing and I said to my husband, “seriously, just what we needed, more snow”. I am freakin’ hating the stuff this year. The week before Halloween, it “slushed”, and since we live in a rural area, they don’t really grade the gravel roads, so there has been 3″ of compact slush, ie, sheer ice since the beginning of November. I am done with driving 40km (25MPH) to town and back. The trip which normally takes 20 minutes each way has been taking about 45, which makes it an ordeal to get to town. Spring cannot come soon enough.

So I trekked that driveway every work day, sometimes with groceries. I used to love snow! Not so much anymore:D Spring is right around the corner – hang in there!

    Cathy, I am LOVING your last photo of the snow on the stairs. LOVELY. Here, at our house in Iowa, we do not have a snow blower either and we FEEL YOUR PAIN! Thankfully, our neighbors have been nice enough to take care of much of our snow for us or have loaned us the use of their snowblowers when they didn’t feel like being outside anymore. (I think they feel sorry for us that hubby works 55-60 hours/wk and that I am pregnant with a 20-month so, not likely to get outside to shovel the white stuff. I guess you can be thankful for lower heating bills now that you guys insulated your house and got some new windows…. the money that you save can go towards the eventual purchase of a snow blower, right?

    I live just north of Buffalo, New York, and while we haven’t had quite as much snow as you have, we’ve had our fair share. And the cold…We don’t normally stay at 15 degrees for weeks on end. We usually spend January and February in the high 20s. Not this year. So while I like winter, I agree with you. SNOW SUCKS!!! I’m not asking for 70 degrees and sunshine. I’ll take 40 degrees and no wind. Your pictures are great, and they really capture the reality of living with snow. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you don’t get any more snow.
