Holiday Storm 2006
Dec. 22nd, 2006 11:14 amDenver's "Holiday Storm" 2006
This is what 2 feet of snow looks like.
The space left by my car.
Somewhere under here lies the car of someone who hopefully has nowhere to be until 2007.
Nothing says "cuddly cosy" like a sleepy kitten in a garland-trimmed cat bed...
...except for possibly my gay, gay ferrets.
I'm obligated to point out that, even though I'm holding the shovel and look to all appearances as though I cleared all that snow, in point of fact Tery did most of the work. I was going to help, but by the time I finished typing an especially difficult report by an Indian doctor (including a "comprehensive inhalant panel" wherein she dictated in very faltering English every gaseous chemical known to man), Tery was mostly done.
We weathered the storm nicely, rationing the milk and beer (respectively) and pulling long-forgotten meat out of the freezer for dinner. It was just like any other day off until we lost our satellite, prompting Tery to dig out our also long-forgotten rabbit ears so she could keep watching. 200 DVDs in our collection and she prefers to flick back and forth between two news channels, both saying the same thing: It's snowing!! Our service was restored when we knocked off the 2-foot overhang of drifted snow on our roof.
Those poor people stranded at the airport. There but for the grace of God, yadda yadda....it was a blessing in disguise that I could only get time off for my trip a week ago. Though really, who watches the biggest storm front in years heading for Denver and still goes to the airport expecting flights to run as scheduled? They've been predicting it for days, it was hardly a surprise, people. Nope, not a smidge of sympathy.
So, while it's been very amusing to be the top story across the country (even the leading joke in Leno's monologue!), I'd like it all to go away now please. Preferably by tonight, when Tery promises the kennels to be full, full, full of holiday boarders. Have you ever tried to walk 12 dogs when it's 10 degrees outside?
