We're supposed to get a huge storm this evening, with five to eight inches of snow predicted. This area expected to be on the higher end of the scale.
The way the newscasters are blathering, you would think this was somehow unusual in Michigan. Like snow during winter was some rare, occasional thing. Like it never snows in Michigan and we're all going to die! Five to eight inches of SNOW! In MICHIGAN! In DECEMBER! OH NO!
I have no where in particular I have to be in the next day or so and we are fully loaded with food, drink and most importantly, toilet paper. I'm actually kind of looking forward to the snow because if it snows, it won't be so bitterly cold as it has been the past few days. I may actually be able to take Mia outside to play in the snow without risking her getting frostbite and her face freezing and falling off.
The best part of the whole deal? I don't have to deal with coordinating the damn snowplowing and being on the Nextel at 2 a.m. trying to raise a co-worker who hasn't had a beer or six to plow the Meijer's parking lot.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Yeah, WDIV is making a huge deal of it, Hubby says they're starting the newscast at 4:30am instead of 5. Which means, of course, that he has to get to work by 3am instead of 3:30, in addition to the fact that he will probably have to snowblow the driveway to even get out!

It is snowing, for a change I will be out of the large amount they are talking about. However, the morning drive will be interesting to say the least. I'm sure that all the people that have 4x4's will be racing like they have snowmobiles and other will be hitting their brakes all the way until they slide off the roads.
I expect that my 45-60 minute drive will turn into two hours...
And I moved back to Michigan from Hawaii because???

I know---doesn't it crack you up how people are in this state about the snow? THIS IS NOT FLORIDA, FOLKS (Be glad for that during hurricane season). Just to update you, I made it into work ok, as long as I went slow, and nobody was driving like an asshat around me...oh, and I should have picked up some toilet paper last night...DAMN!

Don't you think that the news media needs to get a life?? Do they actually think that we just moved to Michigan and OH MY GOSH A SNOW STORM! What??? Are we of a foreign nature? Oh my word, I'm from the tropics and have never seen a snow flake in my life----NOT!
