White (and black and blue) Christmas

[ragnvaeig]

After two ice storms this week, what snow we had has melted and refrozen, and been covered in freezing rain, turned to slush and frozen again. On top of that, we've a "wind gust" advisory today, which means it's blowing up to 50 mph / 80km/h

I'd be happy to make you some Russian tea, if it would help.

Something warm would be lovely.

Snow and ice and black and blue

Oh I can relate. What a winter so far. According to statistics Wisconsin winters are about the same as PA weather. Except they have much more wind. I know PA can get dumped on but we are having a snowy icy winter, and it isn't even officially winter yet. I'm sore from shoveling. I had quite a slip the other day and messed up my bad hip. I fell walking the dog and haven't made it to the chiropractor yet. I should do that. I haven't gone to one since I was about 13. I hate starting up with anything medical. Although it's very beautiful, I wish it would let up.

What is a wheelie bin? Garbage bin with wheels??

Some hot beverage is definitley in order. Stay warm

The past few winters in NJ haven't been that awful, but two ice storms in a row plus wind is doing my head in. Can't even imagine what WI would be like, except to compare it to what my uncle goes through in MT.

Wheelie bin is the garbage bin on wheels, yes. And had I not had to run out to the post office, or rescue said wheelie bin, I'd have stayed indoors the whole day. Tea, I think, for both of us!

Hmmph.  After the last couple of years, I think I miss them too - one day after another at 45-50°F seriously effs up my biorhythms.  Somehow the real weather always gets from New Wilmington to Boston without passing through State College.  I'd swap with that Wisconsin person instantly.
