No! No more snow!

[LaraMN]

No more!
:banghead:
We had a late start for local schools today because we got dumped on again, overnight. I should have known- I could see parts of the driveway pavement yesterday. Now it's alllll white again. My damn push-broom is buried somewhere under all of it. Who knows what else is under there.

I'm going to get some green food coloring, mix it in a bottle with water, and spray the backyard, so I can pretend it's grass. One year I went so nuts I started trying to melt the snow in our yard with a hairdryer.
:banghead:

[plcdude]

1. no more

wild fires send us your snow!

[LaraMN]

3. I wish I could.

I'd gladly pass some along...

[Taverner]

2. How about a family trip to Jamaica this time of year?

There's definitely grass there...

[LaraMN]

4. We have never had a vacation. Ever.

The only time my husband's ever taken off more than two consecutive days of work was when I had Sprout #2, and Sprout #3. We didn't even have a 24-hour honeymoon (due in large part to the fact that we had a four month old baby at the time.)

[Taverner]

5. Well then change that

Slip a mickey in his drink...then pack the whole family in a car and he'll wake up somewhere over Florida, en route to Montego Bay.

Stay at Beaches resort.

The kids will love it.

You'll get sun.

And he'll come to value the importance of recreation.

[LaraMN]

10. Sounds nice.

Maybe someday.

[jpgray]

6. How long have you lived here?

:P

When we get snow after March 22, you're allowed to bitch. Not one second before. This has been a very dry, mild winter. I got to ski exactly twice, and I had to drive all the fuck way out to Lake Mariah to get decent x-country conditions.

[LaraMN]

7. 28 years, 2 months, and 14 days.

and I never get used to the snow.

[jpgray]

8. It's all melted here

It's sunny and nice and I will go for a walk.

[LaraMN]

9. Bitch.

Eat my snow.

[jpgray]

16. That gave me a first grade recess whitewash flashback

But I'm unimpressed. I saw more flakes in my cereal bowl than on the street today.

[EstimatedProphet]

11. I would think you would love snow...

Seeing as it gives you the chance to wear boots and everything...

[jpgray]

14. Is the boot reference ever going to die?

I suppose it's ironically bootless at this point to try and stop it.

[LaraMN]

17. Does it cause you great distress?

You'll have to take that up with the official LaraMN DU Rep/image consultant:

[jpgray]

23. What brought me to this point in my life?

I'm looking at a picture of a suggestively procumbent winking lawn gnome.

[LaraMN]

24. It's ok. I have that effect on people.

:shrug:

[RubyDuby in GA]

12. So now wouldn't be a good time to tell you it's sunny and supposed to be

near 70 degrees today????

I like the green food coloring. So festive. St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner.

It has to melt sometime :hug:

[LaraMN]

22. " "It has to melt sometime;" that's what I"m hanging on to!

When I was in High School, I saw it snow here, in June.:scared:

[MadHound]

13. Hey, send your snow down here to Missouri

We need the moisture and besides, I bought a brand new snowblade for my lawn tractor back in the fall of '04, and have yet to use it. The past two years I've dutifully attached it in the fall, all ready for the snow, and both winters we've barely gotten enough snow to cover the ground. One hundred and fifty bucks gone to waste.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. Just come down to the Cities

We have just a few patches of snow left, and all we got last night was a light dusting that is like the sugar on a sugar cookie.

[LaraMN]

18. My sister's down at Macalester.

My Mom was just pitying her having to come up here, to all of our snow, when her break from school starts, soon. I told her "Big deal! At least she gets to leave, again in a couple weeks!"

[jpgray]

20. I live right by Macalester

She probably knows all the same asshats I know. At least one of them, anyway. :D

[LaraMN]

21. Perhaps she does.

She's getting an apartment with her boyfriend this summer (she's in the dorms, now.) But I think she's staying in the vicinity- she doesn't have a car. I've never been to see her, but I used to work at Rosedale, and live in Shoreview, and I bummed around that area with a friend of mine on occasion.

[kick-ass-bob]

19. No! Not more 80 degrees!

Sweet Jesus, everything is now in bloom. Good thing it'll only be 54 tomorrow. :crazy:

[Left Is Write]

25. Lara, you live in Minnesota.

Isn't March still statistically the snowiest month in Minnesota?

[LaraMN]

28. Stop trying to shatter my delicately constructed alternate reality.

[Digit]

26. Um, it is 79 in Raleigh right now....

A small break from my excessive natural gas bills....

[Fox Mulder]

27. We got about a 1/2 inch here in Sauk Centre.

I had to walk 15 minutes to my apartment in it. x(

It sucked.

[Not_Giving_Up]

29. We were supposed to get near 80 today

Don't know if we made it or not, haven't gone outside lately. Ah, Texas heat and humidity (and mosquitoes!) have returned!
