OK, so the sky IS falling

It's brutal out there!

It's not the accumulation of snow. It's the stupid drifting. For those unfamiliar with the in's and out's of snow, let me tell you that the weight of drifted snow is so much heavier than that of pretty little snowflakes that fell to Earth by themselves without being pushed by ridiculous wind. Drifted snow is compacted, and a shovelful weights a lot.

I'm grumpy. And still have lots more snow to deal with. wah!

I just saw some footage from Quebec - amazing! (well, its amazing from here, where its going to be a windy 29C tomorrow....). Hope you survive OK. I could probably learn to cope with the snow, but it the electricity went off, it might be a different story!

Actually, I did have to do some shovelling...because three days before the last snow storm, someone broke into our condo's locker and stole our snow blower. We attempted to buy a new one, but stores are all out of stock (thanks to the last storm)...If I ever f*ckin' find out who stole our snowblower, trust me, I'm going to run his f*ckin' head through the blades.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you are not a man(iac) to be messed with!
