How Many Donuts Can We Do In Today's Snow

Bone white fluffs have covered the driveway and the yard In fast sideways slashes, No way gentle now, erasing the Fifty-two degree almost spring day Cars will be racing in this slick stuff To see who can get to the corner first, Some not getting to the corner at all. Should we take the car out to see how many Out-of-control donuts it will do? Sure, in days gone by. Not today. Today the reality of car insurance costs Have slapped us in our faces. We hibernate inside, staring at a screen With moving pictures not being entertained, Sneaking peeks out the window, Delighting in youthful remembrances. Snow. Glorious Beautiful Soft Fluffy Delightful Bone White snow

I never want to know how many I can do. Too many close calls on the way to work. Very original.

Thank you. I have done a lot of them, and none on purpose. Which is why I was glad my asthma acted up on Friday. We got 8 inches of snow in 3 hours!

Nette, I did not go to work today. It is a teacher's work day. The high temperature of today is 9 degrees. We have already gotten 5 inches of snow, and more is pouring out of God's bucket with crazy swiftness. The rest of the people who did go to work - got to leave at 11:30 a.m. and consider it a full day because it is treacherous here. I am glad I have cold-weather induced asthma today.
