A (Very) Snowy Day

Date: Dec 20, 2009      Category: General

First flurries started late last night around 11PM. We were existing the emergency room as the first snow fall started. You heard that right though. We made a late night ER trip, because my husband felt the need to practice his basketball skills during our son’s birthday party. It was an innocent mistake that resulted in a very bad ankle sprain (small fracture) and he’ll be on the couch for several days. His next doctor’s appointment is on Monday. We’ll find out how long his recovery will be and how many days or weeks he’ll take off work. His work is too demanding, there is no way for him to be on a job site even with a working boot on.

So now the East Coast is drowning in snow and I’m making friends with the snow shovel. We had a local business clean up most of it around our house but it just keeps pouring. I’d take a picture, but I’ll honestly scream if I see another snowflake. Living in Pennsylvania today is nothing like it was 15 years ago. We are not used to snow storms like this one. Snow fall may come, but it usually melts the same day. This is unusual for our area and I’m not too happy about my new snow shoveling activity. I keep resisting the urge to hit my husband over the head with the shovel and bury him in one of the snow piles.

According to weather reports that just came in, more snow is on the way. We may spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day buried neck deep in snow. So not fun…
