Wisconsin got hit yesterday (Saturday) with our first winter snowstorm. It was a strange one, as my sister said, it was like the world did not know what to do: snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, sleet, snow, rain, snow. You get the picture.
People do the strangest thing when it snows a lot. Firstly, people stayed out. It was awful out, slippery roads, and windy, white-outish. The people that came through the drive-thru (because, yes, of course I was working) were in bad moods. They were so rude. I had a man and woman glare at me icily because I wouldn’t take their pop cans through the window (health code violation!). And someone handed me a ten dollar bill and change and was not happy when I handed them back the change and asked about the extra…apparently he though I should be able to read his mind and give him a five?!? He also asked for shaken soy milk.
People also walk in the middle of the street in the snow. I can’t figure it out. Why, when it’s so icy and cars are fishtailing all over the place do they think it’s acceptable and safe? It’s unfathomable.
Oh yeah. The snow was pretty, too!
But, now comes the days where I have to walk around the corner to the parking lot instead of through the yard. When, I have to make sure that my shovel is in the trunk. It’s always slushy at the end of the driveway and the corner of our street. And, the deep hole near our front walk fills with slush as well. So, lots of winter pitfalls, and lots of potential for fun.
Happy December!
