The view from my front door
OK, we get it, Mother Nature. Yes, while we’re all busy with our workaday lives, you’re still relevant.
We understood that when you decided to close out 2008 with a big bang. Kudos to you. After all these years, you’ve still got it in you.
But seriously. Don’t you think you’re going overboard? Frankly, you’re coming off a little desperate for attention.
Maybe you’re ticked off because all these scientific types are saying “Global Warming” is behind all this crazy weather we’re having. If it makes you feel any better, there are lots of other people who don’t even believe in climate change.
All I’m saying is that you need to get a grip. People are starting to talk. And no, not all publicity is good publicity. Please don’t think I’m telling you this to hurt your feelings. I’m saying all this as a friend.
Also, you’d better get this out of your system before I head to France in 10 sleeps time. Because if I find out that you’re in cahoots with Air Canada, I swear, I’m breaking up with you, too.

I was on the #80 bus yesterday mid-storm… not a fun experience. Especially when the bus driver “needed” an emergency apple cider stop (I blame nature again—winter = overbearing need for cider) and blocked a dude in his driveway for 10 minutes. Quit it, nature!
My fingertips are ready to fall off after a short trek to the bank. I’m ready for this white stuff to pack up and go.
AMEN. I’m so over winter it’s not even funny. No amount of puppies bounding about in powdery snow can make up for how cold and sore my back is from shoveling.
Oh dear, not Air Cattle. After cancelling my flight on 22nd Dec from New York, they dumped me in Montreal on standby, then cancelled my flight, and told me the next flight would be 27th Dec. WE would miss Xmas. So we drove home from Montreal and got nothing, not even an “I’m sorry” from Air Cattle
Lauren: Public transit in this city is pretty poor in the best of times. During a storm it’s abominable (pardon the pun).
Jenn: It seems like we’re getting a lot more of this white stuff than in previous years, doesn’t it?
Ben: Tofu literally tried snorting the snow the other day. I think he’s gone a little crazy from not being able to walk anywhere due to the mixture of cold and giant snowbanks.
Gifted Typist: Yes, Air Cattle. That’s exactly how I usually feel when they’re done with me. Unfortunately, there aren’t really any options when travelling abroad from Halifax at this time of year. *sigh*
