Ok, so my fiance is probably not THE only one, but pretty close. He’s wishing hard for snow. Why? Well the answer is only logical….
He wants to use his new snowblower.
As first time homeowners, there are a lot of things we suddenly own which we never had a need for before: a garden hose, serious tools, mega amounts of draperies, etc. The people who previously owned our house were moving into a condo, so Ryan (fiance) and them cut a deal to buy some more new home tools such as a weed whip, leaf blower and the beloved snow blower. And let me tell you, the boy looooooves his tools. He’s used everything so far – except the snow blower. He’s dying to use that thing but mother nature simply won’t cooperate. When it does snow, however, I’m going to be expecting some serious snow blowing!
But really, I don’t think that big snow fall is gonna happen. (Knock on wood!)
EDIT: He didn’t want snow, just to use the snowblower. How silly of me to think that he’d need snow for that….;) Also…welcome, 2 (?) inches of snow! I spoke too soon, eh?
Jessika, I’m with your fiance……where’s all the snow?! I want to take my kids out to make snow angels and go sledding. I guess I’m not used to Michigan lacking snow. It’s weird.
There’s some this morning. Maybe he can fire up the snowblower and make sure it still works!
I was excited when I woke up this morning with snow on the ground and saw more coming down. I turned on the Weather Channel only to find that we’re only supposed to get an inch or so. I was disappointed. I love to walk around town when it’s snowing.
I’d say we have about 3 or 4 inches on the ground here in Adrian. We actually shoveled for the first time tonight. It’s very pretty.
I never realized how much I like the snow until we didn’t have any. Usually I join in the conversations about how we wish winter was over and the snow would melt but this year I’ve realized how much I love the snow! I was so happy yesterday with all the snow!
Also think about all the businesses that depend on snow to survive! The hardware store that sells snow blowers and shovels, the shoe store that sells winter boots, the plow guys who count on snow to pay their winter bills, there are lots of businesses this year that are having a bad year simply because we have no snow! Michigan just isn’t the same without snow!
[...] It’s my fault we have so much snow. Remember last time I did this? Sorry about that, by the way. But let me explain. [...]
