Here we go , snow!

I took this picture from my front porch this AM. It wasn't quite full daylight yet but you can see the snow! So here it is October 29 and we have snow, not just a "dusting" we have some good old "gotta plow that out of the way " snow. I'm not as fond of snow as I am of other types of water. I agree it's beautiful and if I didn't have to do anything but sit inside and look out at it I could almost be happy to see it. But, alas I have to get up early so I can shovel a path to my car and then spend however long it takes to find the car under the snow and then go back inside until the car warms up and then get dressed again and go to work. Then I have to hope the roads are passable and I don't meet some of those "smart" guys who think owning a 4 wheel drive means they can rule the road, go as fast as they did in August and wonder why they end up in the ditch waiting for a tow truck. Yeah, snow is a pain in the rear. Snow also means winter which means darkness..I really hate waking up when it's dark and then leaving work in the dark..if I didn't have a window in my office I'wouldn't see daylight for about 3 months. Tanning beds are still popular up here, I think it's just because people like to feel like they're soaking up the warmth of the sun for a little while. So yes, it snowed today and I'm sure it's the first of many..grrrrrrrrr.
