White Christmas

prosodicIt's snowing again.
And Lance was out shoveling when it started. So he stopped. What's the point when it's going to accumulate again anyway?
And I'm about 90% sure I won't be able to go to work tomorrow, even if I wanted to. Our across the street neighbor attempted to leave today, backed out of his driveway, and promptly got stuck. After sitting in the street spinning his wheels for several minutes, he gave up. He managed somehow to get his car parked on the curb. I'm sure that required some assistance. It seems he was unable to even get back in his driveway.
So yeah...I'm NOT going through that tomorrow. Screw it. I haven't seen one single car try to drive down this road all day except for that. Our street appears to be impassable. I'm not holding my breath that our trash will get picked up tomorrow either. For the second Monday in a row. Which makes me wonder why we're paying property taxes when there are basic services we're not even getting, like snow/ice removal on our streets and trash pickup.
And it keeps falling...and falling...
I think we'll be having a white Christmas. Our second Christmas in Seattle, and our 2nd white Christmas in Seattle. Unprecedented, since snow is actually supposed to be pretty rare here. You wouldn't be able to tell that by looking outside right now, though. It looks like Minnesota or New England or something.
We're supposed to be getting our new microwave tomorrow, but obviously we won't be able to pick it up. Damn. I had really been looking forward to getting rid of our 20 year old dinosaur. But I've already lived with this stupid microwave for a year, so what's a few more days?
