Snow, snow, snow

When I was in college, I worked for the Department of Public Works in Amityville, cutting grass for two summers. Each morning, the Foreman- a gruff guy named Bruce, announces every one's assignment for the day. He would have it all written on a little sheet that he also logged the weather at the top of, you know temp, sunny, cloudy, etc.
One summer they were remodeling the offices and I was helping move everything and I found a bunch of these daily assignment sheets from the winter before. In the stack there was a sheet that said at the top 'F'ing snow again!' (with actual word spelled out)
Something about this week made me think of that little sheet of paper and his handwritten note about the weather. Maybe because we have over 2 feet of snow on the ground and may be getting another 8-12 inches tomorrow night.

I mean, I love snow, probably more than most people, but I just can't imagine where we are going to put the stuff. As it is our driveway is like a snow tunnel and we can't even get in our backyard.
