Snowday -- comment #73 from Kevin J. Maroney

Oh, it's forty below in the winter, And it's twenty below in the fall. It rises to zero in springtime, And we don't get no summer at all. (chorus from a little ditty on the joy, the mystery, the...

I had my snowday today. It took me almost an hour to take Jim to work and get back home and I was totally traumatized by the slickness (it rained here before it started snowing, and the snow crews...

If it makes your back hurt, odds are you've bought a snow shovel from the Crippler's Conspiracy. The shovel should have a handle that's long enough to allow you to do all the work by flexing your legs...

Winter is good. It kills lots of creepy crawly things we'd be up to our collective arses in if it weren't for the occasional hard freeze. KC always lays down at least a 1/8 inch of ice before any snow,...

Weird days. We started out the day with a thunderstorm, which is really odd in December. The morning was pretty much like the gods were flushing out the heavens, as usual I took Jim to work and he...

What Alison fails to mention is that DC drivers react in exactly the same way to rain. I'm moving to north of Baltimore this weekend (where last Saturday I had my first helping of shoveling snow out of...

Halloween storm was the year I was 13, so 1991, I think. The other Minnesotan in house has confirmed it. (This is probably going to be after someone else's comment already saying the same, since I left...

Wow. A whopping 4 inches in Boulder. You'd think it was four feet with the havoc it was still causing this morning. Traffic was backed up for two miles so everyone could slow down from the requisite 30...
