Push Me, Pullman

Monday: It snowed last night. Not much, but enough to cover everything before melting at noon. Later that afternoon I went to the kitchen to start dinner and noticed it was snowing again. It snowed steadily until the early evening dropping almost eight inches.

Tuesday: No more snow overnight. The snow we had began to melt as soon as the sun came out. Throughout the day I kept looking out the window half-way expecting it to be snowing but it never did.

Wednesday: Still no more snow this morning so I assumed we had received all we were going to get. I was wrong. Sometime during the afternoon the wheather changes to blizzard like conditions outside. Everything is once again covered in about six inches of fresh snow including the eight inches of old snow that had never melted on top of the van.

Thursday, The First Day Of December: Amanda comes home from her overnight and tells me it's snowing. I can't beleive we're having so much snow. When we asked they always told us, "Nah, it's not that much snow.". I began to become very suspicious of "they" as it snows most of the day.

Friday: For the second day in a row I wake up to find it snowing. It snows all day and night. I'm impressed with how the snow levels in front of our apartment aren't so bad due to the amount of foot traffic. But the snow on top of the van is a testament to the amount of snow that has fallen. I expect it to move through overnite.

Saturday: It's still freaking snowing. The landscape now blends seemlessly with the white sky. That is when you can see the landscape and sky through all the falling snow. Amanda decided she wanted to bundle up and take a stroll through the falling snow and ended up getting hit by the worst of it on the way home. Later that afternoon when it had all but stopped Amanda went to get groceries and had to have an older woman push her car out of it's spot when all it would do is just sit and spin.

Sunday: It's officially a winter wonderland. Tree branches are wieghted down. The hill across the street shows signs of sled tracks despite it leading to the street. And the sound of spinning tires can be heard from time to time. With snow expected tonight and tomorrow I don't expect any of this will change anytime soon. My goal is to have the van totally covered by snow at some point.
