Today, it was the coldest it's been since The Blizzards. High of around 12 F (-11 C) with a wind chill of

Exams! Eeek! I feel your pain...and how! Both when it comes to pesky exams and snow. We've had massive snow-falls over the last two days. I love the snow, very much, but when it's all puffy and frozen, not melting into one huge wet mess.

Today, it's actually warm! (Well, that's a relative term...) The snow is melting - yay! I want all the snow to melt, because it's nasty and gross. It's supposed to snow again at the end of the week. Gah!

Ah, but melting snow and all the wet slosh produced in the process are icky. That's why I like it when it's freezing outside. I'd rather freeze than have to trudge through mud and get splashed by cars if I happen to be on the side-walk.

It's really warm over here again and thus, all the pretty, clean snow has melted. Needless to say I hate it to bits.

Yeah, the slush is gross, but I just want it GONE!!!! Especially since it usually gets below freezing at night anyway, so the melted stuff just makes a sheet of ice on the sidewalk. Grrr! If the snow was pretty and clean, I wouldn't mind it, but it's nasty.
