Today we woke up to a revolution of snow, its white flag waving over everything, the landscape vanished, not a single mouse to punctuate the blankness, and beyond these windows the government buildings smothered, schools and libraries buried, the post office lost under the noiseless drift, the paths of trains softly blocked, the world fallen [...]
The snow
began here
this morning and all day
continued, its white
rhetoric everywhere
calling us back to why, how,
whence such beauty and what
the meaning; such
an oracular fever! flowing
past windows, an energy it seemed
would never ebb, [...]
Growing up in Northern Utah, snow wasn’t that big of a deal. I only remember school being canceled once and it had more to do with the structural integrity of our school than the hazards of travel. Our school had hard plastic awnings that were cracking in the winter conditions and the school board decided [...]
When we first started looking at moving to Colorado I’ll admit that I was a little worried about the winters (which honestly was silly considering where we were moving from). I just kept thinking of that Christmas a few years ago when tons of people were stuck at the Denver airport because of the horrific [...]
Too Much Snow
Unlike the Eskimos we only have one word for snow but we have a
lot of
modifiers for that word. There is too much snow, which, unlike rain,
does not
immediately run off. It falls and stays for months. Someone wished for
this
We’re supposed to get our first snow tonight, which means the leaves in our yard needed to be dealt with. We’d already spent a good chunk of time raking last Saturday, but the leaves just kept falling. Due to the time crunch, I bundled Cooper up like that kid in A Christmas Story and we [...]
We are not as boring as the blog makes us sound. I here include evidence to support my claim. We have celebrated several holidays since the last time either of us wrote including a traditional celebration of Groundhog’s Day complete with a Rice Krispy groundhog and the Groundhog’s Day movie on the big screen. The [...]
Look mom, we have wildlife here in Utah too! I looked out the window the other day and saw these two deer in the neighbor’s backyard, one eating and the other keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.
I miss the 10 year drought we were having here in Utah. We’ve seen way too much snow.
We skied on snow,
Shoveled snow,
Bent the skid plate on our car from driving in snow,
Got stuck at Danielle’s house with her smelly dog and no toothbrushes [...]
It’s the last day of March and the snowplows were out this morning. As we trekked up the icy sidewalk to school I pondered upon why they call it Spring semester, thus far I have not come up with any logical answers. I’m thinking about moving to Mexico.
