Winter Freakin' Wonderland

I've mentioned the recent snow storm, yes? Well, we got an additional 12 inches today. That has us up to about 26 inches since Monday. Monday, people. The County actually quit plowing all east-to-west (and west-to-east by default) streets today. The wind was out of the south, and they flat out couldn't keep the roads open. I told Matt that I can't remember seeing it snow this hard in all my 30 years of being an Idaho resident. If you took the phrase, "Like a cow pissing on a flat rock" as applies to rain and then froze it, you'd have our weather pattern.

I'm proud to announce that I'm pretty much all done with the Christmas presents and cards. I've grown a very "fuck it" attitude about my Christmas card list in the last year or so. If I have sent people a card for more than one year without any reciprocation, they're off the list. No card!

I'm more than a little worried about the crap weather affecting the sale of our house. We don't exactly have the easiest driveway for winter access. It's long and steep. And in a week where we've had two feet of snow...well, it's not so good. However, I don't think many people are out travelling at the moment, so I guess even if we had the greatest driveway in the world, no one is out looking at real estate. If you guys could start sending some sell my house good luck vibes, I'd really appreciate it.
