That'll teach you to scoff. The ghosts of innocents shall haunt you forever. <BR/><BR/>Your drive sounds like quite a penance, though. Hope you manage to climb down off that petard without too much damage.<BR/>--Katethemanicgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750985315536912324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-71227972997823521572009-02-05T20:56:00.000+00:002009-02-05T20:56:00.000+00:00Your earlier post is what's known in these parts a...Your earlier post is what's known in these parts as "tempting fate."

(Been watching snow fights out of the window....)But no, its the economy, drone drone yawn yawn...... I think that snow should replace the pound as currency.

I have been saying this for days now...I am cured of wishing for the white stuff. It is much more then the romantic fluffy stuff; it is down right dangerous to get out with inexperienced drivers taking to the roads to get groceries here in the middle south of the US. Glad you were safe getting home!<BR/><BR/>GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-59724436845905546602009-02-05T14:09:00.000+00:002009-02-05T14:09:00.000+00:00We had a foot of snow in December.

However I've just returned from a very refreshing tramp through the snow.

I freeze up at about 20*C and I cant imagine walking about even indoors when the white stuff is falling. I've seen it just twice in my life but was too cold to enjoy it. I think I'd rather enjoy it on Christmas cards, thank you very much . Or better still, in posts like this, of bloggers who've lived to tell the tale!Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-73689779746192596462009-02-05T13:19:00.000+00:002009-02-05T13:19:00.000+00:00Too funny!

It may comfort you that here in the land of much ice and snow, we routinely encounter such phenomena also, even though we're supposed to know how to drive. Only our old ladies tend to be in Dodge Neons or ancient K-Cars. The good news for you is that it will likely melt much more quickly than it will here. We're at around 3 feet deep and counting...<BR/>And some of us lot on this side of the big water also say arse, probably because of our UK ancestry. Used to reduce my grandmother to giggles when I said it. I just think it's a much more biting insult with that extra Arggggg in it. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-50930055043138071332009-02-05T13:08:00.000+00:002009-02-05T13:08:00.000+00:00Some hoisting and a couple of petards involved her...Some hoisting and a couple of petards involved here, I think.<BR/>We have about six inches but a very grey sky which tends to suck the life from the snow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
