Bring on the white stuff

Today it snowed. A lot. Well, last night, actually. This morning we woke up to our first snowfall of the season and it was a doooozy. I shoveled my ass off for 1/2 hour before work and an hour this evening and I still have one driveway to go. It's very pretty, but really, really heavy.

I also got stuck twice today. Once at a stoplight -- a sweet guy behind me pushed me out -- and 5 minutes later when I tried to pull into my spot at work. That time my coworkers, who were helping another stuck coworker get unstuck, shovelled and pushed me out. I would feel stupid, but I have never seen so many stuck cars in my life as I saw today. It was almost funny. I prayed all the way home and I made it without further incident. Tonight it's supposed to drop to minus 18, so all the ruts will be frozen solid by morning. Fun, fun, fun. I don't know why it makes me so mad. It happens every year, but every year I get pissed right off. Winter sucks. Although the shiny black Skidoo in the garage has Mr X praying for snow, so I could blame this all on him.

Mr X's stepdad is having back surgery in Saskatoon today. I was going to go see them (stepdad and mom) but the weather is too crazy. Perhaps tomorrow. I hope it all went well for him. Mr X was going to call tonight and see, but I haven't heard anything yet.
