Which is just a precursor really to Fresh Snow Friday….and Blizzard Conditions Saturday. All but killing my Big Plans for Super Bowl Sunday. Hence the need to write a letter to Big Mama.

Dear Mother Nature,

I know I complained about the warm winters here in Virginia the past two years which selfishly kept me from skiing. I know I crowed about how great it was to have such a mild summer that I rarely had to use the A/C and kept my windows open pretty much every single night. And the fall was one of the more spectacular here in the Blue Ridge Mountains the and Shenandoah Valley. So, who am I to complain, really, if you feel the need to get your freak on and just, you know, cut loose for a change. But I kinda sorta was thinking that’s what you did when you dumped 26″ of snow on me in late December. And another 8″ this past weekend. And 6″ more yesterday. So…and it’s just a suggestion on my part, really, coming from a place of sincere concern for your well being, but now they’re saying you’re going to toss two to four feet more over the next 48 hours in my general direction. And, you know, I like to sled, build the occasional snowman. I’m working on my own version of the Terra Cotta Warriors by now. But this? This is kind of like…a lot. Some (not me, of course) would say, overkill. So, we’ve been talking, and, well, we’re wondering if maybe an intervention might be in order. Just…something that might help you to reign it all back in, get yourself under control. Tiger’s figuring out his issues in Sex Addiction Rehab, so we were wondering if perhaps you might benefit from some Severe Weather Rehab. Just sayin’. Coming from a place of love and acceptance for all things frozen and requiring shoveling, but still… Give it some consideration.

Signed,
Just Say No To Snow

Okay, I’m pretty sure that wind howling outside my window just now sounded a lot like laughter…. Sigh.

Well, for those of you whose humor hasn’t been hampered by figuring out complex math equations designed to reduce the motion required for constant snow removal down to the minimum required and still be able to get a MINI Cooper on the roadways…don’t forget to enter this week’s Valentine’s Day edition of Free Stuff Friday. First prizes given out tomorrow! See Monday’s (much nicer) blog for all the details. Yes, there will be chocolate involved. If I don’t eat my way into a phenylephylamine stupor by consuming it all. I could hardly be blamed. And I’d replace it. Honest.

So, I’m going to go Scoop. But you all? Can DISH!!!
