Bring it, clouds!

Aaaaaaaaaaaand it's awesome outside. I mean, mainly because I don't drive, but still! I was running into patients' rooms going "hey, wake up! here are your meds! it's snoooooowing!", and they were all "*grumble, grum-*...! really? it's snowing! hell yeah!" Paraphrased, of course. All the day nurses came in late. Even the one girl who showed up at a decent time was late, because she generally shows up much earlier. Roads were closed, there were accidents galore, the parking lot was shut down (it's up on a hill); basically, LI has horrendously bad snow coping skills. We ended up detouring on the way home, and the only reason we didn't end up stalling or stuck like half of the cars we zoomed by was because the truck had 4-Wheel Drive. We passed at the grocers on the way, and I gave in to my winter vibe. So, for breakfast (dinner? I work night shift, I'm not sure what meal it is I just ate) I had a cup of New England Clam Chowder, breadsticks, and tapioca pudding. I would have indulged in a cup of hot chocolate, but the calories had to stop somewhere. Still! It's dangerously pretty outside.

Snow! Yayz!

Hehehe, as I recall I was all giddy about snowfall right up until the time I had to start driving in it. It just hasn't been the same since 16.

*grin* I'm great it with when I'm a)not stuck taking public transportation b)indoors or c)with someone in a great truck. Then it's all "bring it!" Otherwise, yeah, not so much. :)

I swear that every year everyone forgets how to drive in winter. The first snow "storm" of the year here(I use pretentious quotation marks because it really wasn't all that stormy) produced 300 accidents along Southern Ontario highways! That's insane. I'm glad I take the bus. It may run late, but it usually gets where it's going unharmed.

That's precisely what happened here. It was the first substantial fall, and all the weather outlets were predicting some snow with a change to rain, so the public officials out on the Island did NOTHING: no salt, no warnings, nothing. So when the rain didn't come and the temperature dropped to the teens (F), people in cars drove on roads that were essentially ice sheets like everything was hunky-dorey...and it would have been if some rock salt had been laid down, but nope. The number of calls we got were astounding! One nurse after another calling in to say they'd be late. We made a game of it after a while. And then, accident here, accident there, highways cut off. Ridiculous. And the buses out on the Island are an utter joke: if it rains hard you're guaranteed to be late by at least half an hour. NYC is so much better prepared.

*grin* Ha. Now I'm wondering as well.

I love snow! I have no idea how I ended up in a place that has no snow for 5 whole years! I am totally envious!

*grin* Maybe I'll mail you a jar for Christmas.

Yeah, we had snow for the first time yesterday, and then within a few hours, we had slush...and then just sludge. Somehow, it was so much better 20 years ago.

Ha! You're way too young to say something like that. Global warming? or selective young memory kicking in?

*grin* Just what I long to hear.
Although I think it's only true if it's snowed more than 6 inches and you have to go out and shovel.

Don't worry; you guys are bound to get more stuff in a little while. :)

Yay snow!

And I concur with "Yay, especially with no driving!" I love weekend snow. (:

Sorry for being MIA for the past month...things have been crazy. Hope you've been well, my dear.

Lynn Boogie! *hugs*

Weekend snow is indeed the best. Particularly when it's right before Christmas. :)
