That one about Texas was a new rendition of one I read about moving to Alaska, in the Winter of course.:laugh:
November
November
6:00 PM -- It started to snow. The first snow of the season and hubby and I took our hot chocolate and sat for hours by the window watching the huge fluffy flakes gently drift down. So romantic!! I love snow!
Then we woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! It isn’t possible to live in a lovelier place in the whole world. I’m so happy we moved to Alaska!
Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a kid again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalk. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalk and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a great way to get exercise.
December
I am so sad that the sun has melted all the lovely snow. I was looking forward to shoveling again. My neighbor told me "Don't worry; we'll definitely have lots more snow".
Old Sourdough (long-time Alaskan) says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again... I just don't think that's possible.
January
Snow beautiful snow! Ten more inches of the lovely stuff last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything so pretty and sparkly. The arctic wind took my breath away, but I warmed up quickly by shoveling the driveway and sidewalk. This is the life!
The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I’m imagining the great figure I will have from all this bending and heavy lifting.
Twenty more inches of snow forecasted. We are stocking up on firewood looking forward to sitting by the warm fire watching the beautiful snowfall from our picture window!

There was a huge ice storm this morning. Fell on my butt on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hubby laughed himself sick till he fell trying to help me get up...
February 12
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere.
Can you believe it fourteen more inches of that stinkin’ white stuff last night! More shoveling!!! Took all day!! Stupid snowplow came by twice.
Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out, said they might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Sourdough says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

-30 and thirteen more inches fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August.
Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to use the bathroom. By the time I got undressed, used the bathroom and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel.
Tried to hire Sourdough who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think he is lying.

Only two inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. Feeling a sense of relief... That winter has finally snowed itself out!
February 18th
23... Freakin'...inches!!!! Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack.
If I ever catch the driver of that snowplow I'll drag him through the snow and… I just know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish... and then he comes plowing down the street at 100 miles an hour and dumps a ton of snow where I've just shoveled!
February 19th
Twenty more inches of the slop tonight. Snowed in! The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. I HATE THE SNOW!
Then to top it off... the snowplow driver came by ASKING FOR A DONATION and hubby prevented me from chasing him with my broken shovel. Snowplow driver suggested I needed an attitude check… I suggested to snowplow driver that...
February 21st
Still snowed in... Why the heck did we ever move to Alaska? I also noticed today that the fireplace seems to be taking up way to much room...
February 22nd
Temperature dropped to -40 and the pipes froze, plumber came after 36 hours of waiting for him, he only charged us $1400 to replace the pipe that broke.
Told hubby that I think the water leaks have caused the house to shrink because I am feeling crowded. Hubby suggests maybe WE need to go on a diet! I suggested to Hubby that...
February 23rd
Warmed up to above -20, still snowed in. I can almost see through the ice build-up on the picture window!!!
February 24th
Sigh! Ten more inches!! Sourdough says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am? I think he is showing signs of what some call Cabin Fever!
February 27th
16 more inches… Roof caved in. Had to shovel the driveway so the roof repair crew can get in. The snow plow driver didn’t wait for me to finish this time, and had the audacity to wave as he buried me in snow… 13 more inches predicted.
February 28th
Packing!
