Heavy snow is falling here. We're expecting about a foot, and then temperatures dipping down to nine below overnight.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I didn't take the Dino course, but I did sign up for the Science and Cooking class. Have yet to watch any lectures or do any labs - still trying to figure out how to fit things other than working and sleeping into my schedule in a regular basis, frankly. That Chinese history course sounds super interesting, maybe I can get myself together enough to take it when it starts again...

We had a foot or so of snow Friday, freezing cold day Saturday,and now today it's supposed to get above freezing today with rain tomorrow. Then Tuesday, freeze again. Winter here is a slushy, icy hell.

I liked what I took of the Dino course, but need to go finish watching the lectures. That may be a fun activity for a snowy day.
I'm heading out to do round 1 of shoveling - I'd rather move this stuff 4 inches at a time than 12 inches at a time.

Best Neighborhood's Boyfriend proposed to S yesterday! So happy for the both of them.
It's raining now, hope it is warm enough to melt the ice in my downspout, cause I'd rather have J&S basking in their giddiness than rescuing me from the roof again.

Shoveling was not too horrible, but the snow is falling fast enough that the asphalt is almost completely covered again.

We are now looking at rain until about 9pm.
Someone - I think aurelia? - mentioned this thing from Thinkgeek [link] and now my kids are running around the house pretending to be video game heroes and cowboys.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Raining here.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
No longer snowing here, but the wind is still blowing it around a lot. Only 4.5 inches total by my measure, but I'm glad I don't have to be out in it today. [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My stretch teacher uses coconut oil as a sunblock.
Based on previous experience, coconut oil is not an effective sunscreen, despite what the interweb says. At least, not for melanin-challenged people like me.
It's raining and just above freezing. This probably means icy sidewalks tomorrow morning.
