Back at the end of January, I think I mentioned that Syracuse had three fewer feet of snow than is normal for this time of year (38″ to be exact). Well, that’s changed. We’re now seven inches below average – in other words, in 10 days or so we’ve gotten 31″ of snow. <\/p>\n
Or Syracuse has, anyway – out in God’s country where I live, I can’t even guess how much we’ve gotten. I know I’m having a hard time trying to find a place to push the snow, and the banks at the end of the driveway are up around eight feet or more.<\/p>\n
Today, however, it’s only snowing a little bit. That’s pretty much the only break we get, and by the weekend they say we’ll be luck to get above zero with more snow on the way. I’m getting pretty tired of it.<\/p>\n
It’s one thing when the season is front-loaded with snow. It’s early and it’s kind of pretty and you’re still full of energy. But even without the snow, it’s been cold all year (January was about 6° colder than normal), but February has been even colder and a lot snowier. This is when it gets pretty old.<\/p>\n
Oh well, only five weeks ’til St. Patrick’s Day. Which would give me something to look forward to if I hadn’t quit drinking beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
