Rant; Winter 2013/14

Winter Storm Maximus is about to drop more snow on y'all.

Are you not entertained?

We were told we can't whine about it anymore.

I don't even care. I've lost all hope. WInter will never end. I will end up frozen in a block of ice, perfectly preserved, and found 10,000 years from now and put in a museum. I'm sure of it.

I got excited when we only ended up with a half inch of ice and an inch or so of snow on top rather than the 3-5 inches we were supposed to get. Then I remembered my driveway is chunky, uneven asphalt. Pain in the [expletive] ass trying to shovel that with the layer of ice underneath. It would have been pretty easy if my driveway was a smooth uniform surface to scoop it all up at once. I eventually gave up and just skimmed the snow off the top and put a bunch of salt down to try to take care of the ice.

So what did you Chicagoland whiners end up getting?

Nothing but another 3 inches of sunshine and rainbows. In fact, when we get another 5 inches of sunshine and rainbows on Tuesday I don't know what we'll do. We're already out of room to put all the sunshine and rainbows.

The forecast for Tuesday here is 6-8 inches. I don't have any milk or eggs or flour so I'm not sure how I will make it through. Nice knowing you guys.

You'll just have to go out and kill something like the pioneers did; or buy a chicken and cow.

4-8" in Chicago. Officially 4 at O'Hare, which brings the season total to 52.2". I would have guessed we got 5 or so where I live. The mounds of snow are so high at the end of my driveway that I actually had to de-top them. We are expecting significant snow Tuesday and again on the weekend with bitter cold in between, and the long range forecast says more snow/cold next week.
