Oh NO they're NOT!!!!!

Oh. yes. they. just. did....  They snowplowed up 57th Avenue.  Yes.  They.  Did.

Anyone NOT here in The Can, may not know that we got about an inch of snow last night.  Sure that could wreak havoc on morning commutes - but WHEN they went by, the temperature outside had reached 36 degrees (9 AM) which means that as the day goes on the temps will rise, the snow will melt.  And it already was at that time.


Apparently the news and forecast are not available on the Streets Department channels.  Can you say - 46 degrees in the forecast tomorrow?  Can you say pouring rain Thursday and Friday?  Don't answer that.


The wind is blowing, the air is relatively warm this weekend, the time for snow has passed.  Sadly, the folks on the west side of the state said the biggest accumulations and snow are supposed to hit in February.  It doesn't surprise me.  The year "little" Jeff was born, it did NOT snow until February 12th.  And it snowed. And snowed.  And snowed.  Some ridiculous amount like 18 inches or something.  That's just stupid.


I'm in a total funk about weather.  I have Arizona blood and love love love the heat.  I love snow on Christmas and the thought of eating outdoors on Thanksgiving is not something I could get used to.  But I hate winter.  I hate winter in The Can.  It will look like it does now, for the next 4 months.  Blech.
