Kansas City is absolutely buried in snow. First several inches of ice, THEN a foot of snow. I love this place.

I'd love a foot of snow, but I'm content right now with the two inches or so that we got. I'd love to get more, of course, but right now, this two or three inches looks so pretty. The air smells clean, too, because the snow picked up a lot of the toxins that were airborne and brought them to the ground.

Divash Nafariously_Ploted Divash I love snow, despite inconveniences. For a moment, it even looks as though this nasty city were clean. Yeah, until even the snow looks dirty, and then it looks even dirtier. That's pretty much it. I don't mind the dirtiness of snow, though, somehow. In my apartment, all I can really see are rooftops, and that stays white until it melts away or sublimates. Going outside, it's dirty anyway, and so there's really no change. The city I am living in, when it snows, it is basically snowing all season. My college doesn't cancel classes for -anything-. Yay for lake-affect snow.

Down state where my apartment is, they are only getting 3, but it is on top of a layer of ice from an ice storm earlier.

I get Lake-effect snow too, but it typically sublimates away soon. Or doesn't stick. I love watching it fall, though. Winter's my favorite season.

Thankfully, classes have been called off until Monday. Our campus is pretty much carved into a hill, and to get anywhere you have to tromp up some narrow ancient stairs, or drag yourself up a cliff. Too many injuries in past years, so we err on the side of caution. LMAO

It's snowing again. It only does it for a couple minutes, then quits, but it's so beautiful. I'm in love with winter. I want to live in a place with a lot more winter.

They don't even bother with the roads and paths on campus until the snow is done falling, but nothing is ever canceled, unless individually by the professors.

I went to school in a coastal area that didn't get much snow, and was very hilly. Whenever it did snow or ice up, they wouldn't cancel classes, but anyone who wasn't living on campus got an automatic excused absence because the buses didn't run and it was too slick to drive.

Wow, you guys have my sympathies.
The thing about Park is that if you live in the dorms, you have to walk across an itty-bitty bridge, down a steep set of "stairs", then through the insanity of commuter parking areas.... It's a test of courage during winter, because there's a four-foot gap on the railing of the bridge. If you slip, God help you. LMAO

I don't want to finish the laundry. Nor the dusting, nor the vacuuming, nor the dinner prep, ironing, silver polishing, or all the other prep stuff I have to get done by 3pm. I just want to go outside and plaaaaay. *sigh* Oh, well. After services, I intend to go out and play, for sure.

Move to northern Michigan, Canada, or Alaska. rofl Actually, Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, or Victoria) is on my short list of places I would really love to go. The SO is still looking into job transfers within the same company, because the company's been very good to us over the years. If we get the transfer to anywhere in Canada, you can color me tickled pink. Probably won't happen for at least another couple of years, though.

Living up north doesn't seem so bad to me. Michigan has pretty winters, compared to Kansas. That state has some character. Kansas is just... flat.
