Snow! The Northerners can have it. I loathe snow. Well, it is pretty for about a day I guess.
My gripe: Today I fell going down the stairs (missed a step and fell about 2-3 stairs). TOTALLY freaked my husband out (he practically vaulted down the steps when he heard me scream!), but I'm sure Baby is OK -- I caught myself. In the process, though I scratched up one hand, torqued one foot pretty bad, and bruised one shin and an elbow.
May we assume this misstep was caused by your temporary, but current inability to see your feet?
I feel so down and sleepy. im in lunch break, but if i dont get out of the lab I'm gonna fall asleep in a bucket of cuanide.
at least Opeth is helping me to keep it up.

Well here in Quebec, if you want to have your driveway cleared of snow and associates, you need to pay (average) $300 CAD per winter (6 months) for two colored stakes bearing the name of the company, so when a storm (limit is 5cm) hits and the blowers go through, they'll clear your way.
Thing is, some of us would rather clear the driveways ourselves. We (household) has three pushers and sometimes it's even fun to clear snow. The not-so-fun part is when the city shovel-trucks come through to clear the road in front of the house. Then they'd just push all the snow into your (just cleared) driveway.
Little trick we've developed is to bribe the companies' blower drivers. Ten, maybe fifteen bucks a clear for an unpaid driveway.

No as long as you put them back before it`s snowing again,Quote:Well here in Quebec, if you want to have your driveway cleared of snow and associates, you need to pay (average) $300 CAD per winter (6 months) for two colored stakes bearing the name of the company, so when a storm (limit is 5cm) hits and the blowers go through, they'll clear your way.
