First we were hit with the sub-zero temps. It was below zero for two days with windchills of 20-30 below zero. We lived through that only to now be hit with a freaking snowstorm. It started about 3:30 this morning and has been snowing since. I believe that there's likely six inches or more of that crap out there now. *sigh* I've shoveled our walk (from our door to the parking lot) three times already today. I know I'll have to wade through snow to get to the car to go to work tonight. If not for losing my holiday pay, I'd call in sick tonight. GRRRRR! I spent half an hour shoveling out my parking spot and I dare someone to park their happy ass in it after I go to work. I swear if they don't have a handicapped placard, they better not be there when I come home in the morning! I will definitely call the police and report them. I know that's bitchy of me but this place does next to nothing for snow removal and I'll be darned if I cleared that spot just so someone else could use it!
It's supposed to snow through the night. Lucky us, huh?! Actually, in the wee hours of the morning, this all may just change to freezing rain, sleet, rain ... what a lovely mix that will be. I so wanted to head off to visit my sister and my girls for the holiday but that won't happen if this weather keeps up. It's dangerous out there. I won't head out if there is ice tomorrow. I guess it's going to be a 'play it by ear kind of thing. FINALLY, I see there is someone outside with a little bobcat, working on clearing the parking lot. It's about time as I've been sitting here watching people skid around the corner all day. You'd think after paying what we do for rent they could at least clean the parking lot more than once a day when it snows all day long! And that's my rant for today.
I work tonight and then will be off until Sunday night. I hope that the weather clears and we can head out tomorrow morning. I'll grab a couple hours sleep and then be on the road. Next check in may be a few days away, depending on whether we go and how things are at my sister's.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Be well, be safe, and enjoy your family and loved ones. You never know when it may be your last day here on this earth. Make the most of it!

Merry Christmas Karon and A Very Happy New Year.
All that scooping used up calories so that is good.
Sometimes I think we should all move to Australia where it is summer right now. Of course they have more poisonous snakes and bugs than any place else on the planet.
I think I will take the ice and snow rather than the snakes and bugs
Take Care and you and Tim enjoy yourselves wherever you are
Merry Christmas to you too, Karon. I am so with you on being sick of winter. We've not gotten the snow here like you have up there, but we've been hit with the yucky freezing rain, sleet and ice. Last night we had more of it and this morning our roads are like skating rinks. Not good at all. My hubby keeps telling me that with us getting hit so hard this early in the season, the rest of winter will be nice and calm. I can only hope:) Take care of yourself and have a wonderful and SAFE Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! You have a bright new year ahead of you. Stay safe and warm. You are right, we never know when our last day will be. Life can be so short.
