Snowpocalypse 2009

Well, it's official: the world is indeed coming to an end. Why? you ask. What is your evidence?

Well, most of Virginia got about two feet of snow in a night and a day. My car is objecting strenuously to being buried, but two attempts at de-snowification later and it's still mostly unrecognizable except as a large snowy blob with shiny burgundy bits sticking out. Also, my arms are killing me - I'm spoiled from living in the previously Snowless land and having boys at home who like to snowplow the driveway.

Being snowed in is nice, but this WOULD happen the day before I drive back to PA - I have no choice but to haul my miserable personage out into the cold to de-snow my car in order to be able to drive on Monday. I have to go to work today, too, but my boss is using the work truck to come and pick us all up, so I don't have to risk my car on the roads quite yet.

Also-also, I miss my snow boots. I've got these lovely waterproof hiking boots, but they don't quite do the job of insulating, so I needed to double-sock. Which is, by the by, one of the least comfortable ways to wear socks apart from wearing a sock on your head. (That I have not yet attempted, but the most basic physics tell me that would be a highly uncomfortable endeavour.)

Mainly I'm just passing the time and procrastinating from attacking the snow around my car again. I'll maybe stop babbling now and do something constructive.... like making lunch, for instance. Lentil soup is sounding really good about now.
