Wearing the snow as you would wear your hair

[sovay]

I do not count today as a snowpocalypse, partly because I still haven't seen any mammoths (or revelations). Nevertheless, this was most of my afternoon.

That's lovely.

Ouch. No mammoths in Providence, either.

I'd settle for some Smilodons!

Here as well. We had a ridiculous amount of snow, something approaching, I think, three foot,* and also have a ridiculous amount of driveway, so I was clearing it until after dark.

I so wish we'd had a mammoth, or at least a mastodon, make an appearance, but no such luck. It's not fair at all. I'd be content enough if you at least could have seen one and, ideally, posted a picture.

Nice hat!

*Higher than the snowblower--it ended up a matter of dragging the snow down with the shovel so that the snowblower could tear into it.

Nice hat!

Thank you. It's been my winter hat since 2003. Apparently it's indestructible.

You're welcome. That's a very good thing. Might I suggest you consider breeding it, so that it can pass on such sterling qualities to future generations of hats?

I'm trying to think how long my current flat-cap-with-concealable-earflaps has endured... maybe since 2006? (I wouldn't suggest it as a suitable match for your hat--I suspect tweed and fleece aren't interfertile.)

Yes, I find my arms are pleasantly sore today. There's virtue in the soreness. I felt I earned my sleep last night.

I would have, if I'd slept . . .

You should have seen my car... (I could, but only after I cleared off the foot of snow)

But you are wearing the Frogaboo hat! Hooray!

But you are wearing the Frogaboo hat! Hooray!

It's immortal. Thank God, however, it only sings under very specific circumstances.

That is an amazing - and amazingly dramatic! - picture. Snow looks so high maintenance.

Thank you! Though I'm not really sure I can take the credit; my mother took the picture.

Snow looks so high maintenance.

It's been kind of ridiculous. But I love winter; I just hate shoveling.
