I Surrender

We had another snowstorm this weekend - perhaps you heard about it? It dropped over a foot. Again. We are now over the 8 foot mark in less than four weeks. It's almost as if Mother Nature is trying to tell us something...

(I didn't take that photo; I stole it from another website. One of the joys of writing a not-for-profit blog.)

Ok, Mother Nature, I hear you! I'm giving up. I'm waving the white flag, which you can't even see, because everything in this whole city is white. Or black. Or gray. When did my life become a classic film??

I surrender. I'm going to Vermont, where, in a bizarre twist of reality, there's actually LESS SNOW.

I'll be back next week...hopefully. My wonderful friend Birgit made something to help me along through the mountains of snow this week, and get me back to normal life (I  hope). She's the best :)

  2. I feel for you. I know more snow is on the way too. It's probably difficult to think of anything but snow for you guys.

  3. Really, if you're trying to escape the snow you should be headed to Florida. ;) I really wouldn't mind the company. (Beaches, sunshine, and mid seventies...)

  4. We have freezing cold, but not nearly as much snow as you guys. Though, honestly, if I'm going to suffer subzero temps, I'd rather have it with snow. At least then people don't expect you to go out in it.

  6. Anywhere with less snow sounds appealing. Escape and don't look back!

  9. Holy cow! That's a lot of snow. It's been really bad here too, we've got like...three inches. =) Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist. And I love your life is a classic movie line, lol. Hope you find some color in Vermont!

  10. You guys have really been getting the heart of these blizzards. We get a few inches each time here in Jersey but nothing compared to what you guys have to suffer through.
    I hope Vermont brings you relaxation and inspiration. Have a great time, Liz!

  18. :( I went to Boston a couple weeks ago and it was...frightening. I hope you're staying warm and trying not to go too crazy. Do you find yourself with more time to write at all?
