<p>SNOW! Sick sick sick of it. </p>
<p>What’s your beef?</p>
<p>Not me per se, but some of the folks in the burn zones of LA County are evacuating due to the mud flow, thanks to the heavy rain … and more on the way.</p>
<p>I 
SNOW! So I’m not complaining at all. Anything that gets me out of school early is a good thing and the whiteness looks so pretty on the trees.</p>
<p>I am sick of not getting any snow. I live in SE Michigan, and we’ve gotten nothing but those little 1 inch snowfalls that melt in a day. I am tired of being freezing cold and getting nothing to look at for my troubles but dead grass and mud.</p>
<p>Watching soccer games in the pouring rain…</p>
<p>^^^Or lacrosse games. Or rugby games.</p>
<p>Watching wrestling matches in overheated gyms. That are overheated because the wrestlers wear those stupid skimpy singlets and because most of them are grossly underweight so they’re freezing . . . </p>
<p>(Can you tell I’ve been to a lot of wrestling matches?)</p>
<p>Watching swim meets in crowded, overheated, overchlorinated pools. But it surely beat watching soccer games and then loading up muddy kids in the van!</p>
<p>Our weather in NC has been nothing to brag about lately - in fact its been nothing to move here for lately! This winter has been as cold as many we endured in NJ. However, since last night we have only had RAIN, which I guess is better than all that snow falling points not very far north from here.</p>
<p><— Check my screen name, fencersmother - I’m with you!!</p>
<p>TOS! You crack me up. </p>
<p>I think I am sick of lost mittens too, but that’s under the category of “stupid.”</p>
<p>haha we got 17" of the white stuff last night into today. I love to look at snow but not drive in it.</p>
<p>Send the snow to Vancouver! The ski slopes are bare!! They are trying to truck in snow for the olympics- its even too warm to make snow!</p>
<p>I’m sick of rainy days. It’s beautiful right now, but previous rainy days cancelled ds’s soccer game this a.m.</p>
<p>^ No such luck here! They NEVER cancel for rain if there is a turf filed to be found.</p>
<p>Paying for horse training when no training is getting done due to rain or soaked riding rings after the rain. Going on two months now!
I do love many other things about rain.</p>
<p>Our area is hosting the Snowshoe racing nationals a month from today and the snow had better come pretty soon! Looks like DC keeps getting the snow we are used to getting! Hard to prepare in trail shoes…</p>
<p>With all the problems this country is facing, it’s the snow that bothers you?</p>
<p>Look on the bright side – that’s the only problem we have right now that will go away if we just ignore it.</p>
<p>believe me spdf, fencersmother and the rest of us are sick of many big things but sometimes it’s healthy to blow off steam with a little harmless rant against something you can’t change and more importantly something you can’t hurt.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Given that our nation’s capital, where many of these problems are supposed to be solved, is paralyzed by snow right now, maybe it is worth worrying about.</p>
<p>Even the President called it “Snowmaggedon.”</p>
<p>Happykid and I bundled up (she’s been waiting for an excuse to put on the Carharts) and strolled around the neighborhood this afternoon. 7-11 is open, the Shell station is open, Giant supermarket is open, CVS is open. Rockville Pike is passable in a “city car” but there still isn’t much traffic other than snow equipment on the side streets. Clearly, there will be no school in the DC Metro area until at least Tuesday.</p>
<p>24 inches (give or take, there was some drifting) in Rockville, MD.</p>
<p>And I’m with whoever it was who complained about them missing mittens. How is it that Happykid can only ever find ONE of a pair of gloves? (Well except for today when I made her dig deeper to find the other real winter glove.) I have started stashing them with the odd socks in the hopes that the laundry gods will spit them up one day.</p>
