And why does it just keep getting harder?

It might rain today, here.

I will be thinking of you.

Poor bastards.

I don't know, but it's snowing in Boston too and it's making me want to cry.

I don't even have a winter coat. Or a hat. Or an umbrella. The radio didn't warn me this morning. It's way freaky.

Wow! I just left my windowless cell and walked to the window. It's really coming down.

Reminds me of the beiginning of Flash Gordon, with all the freak meteorological occurences that are "no cause for alarm."

Okay, so we're agreed. It's the end of the world.

Somehow this weather caused me to miss my alarm and show up to work two and a half hours late.

And WHY is today the ONLY day EVER that I have to leave the office for a meeting? I know, I've been bitching hardcore about this- but STILL! It's freaking SNOWING!

So if it's the end of the world, can it hurry up and end so I can go home from work?

Fracking SNOW! In fracking APRIL! HATE!

It is snowing, I have a cold, my model is not working, the big bosses from DC are coming up on Friday, I need to prepare a presentation. LIFE JUST SUCKS! for me.

Well I'm psyched, I just ran outside and made a wet detritus angel and now I'm filthy as a Italian. Hurrah!

We got a bit in Pennsy, too. It's done now and none of it laid, but I hope it was enough to scare the wee beasties back into their lairs so that I can go work outside without fear.

It's 75 and sunny here. Sorry.

i love it, and we always get one snow in April each year--it's a last gasp before winter finally gives up til next time : >

While not a New Yorker dame, I share your pain. Woke up to about 3 inches of fresh snow this morning. Boo Canada.

posted by richat 05 April | 12:16

Wait, just to be clear, I am not upset that it snowed. I like snow. I am just baffled. Why wasn't I warned?

Hi richat!

posted by dame 05 April | 12:19

Snow falling, bafflement ensued. Weird day eh dame?

hi right back! When are you gonna come hang out again? I am afraid ass school isn't going well. heh heh

posted by richat 05 April | 12:41

Well now it's sunny. Also, I like it when you type "eh." It's so hot and Canadian.

Never! Now thry can't get the cables running from my unit to the box working. It will involve supers and walls & stuff to get me internet. Or trying to split with a neighbor, if it'll work for anyone else. Gah!

In SoCal, it's been raining off and on for weeks. Today, it HAILED. It's definitely the end of Something.
