See If You Can Detect The Note Of Sarcasm

How wonderful it was to wake up to an inch, and climbing, of fresh fallen snow this morning. After enjoying a week of a clear driveway, we can now start shoveling again. Years of snow removal experience has taught us a few tricks, start the car 10 minutes before work so the windows defrost, this way you jump in, roll down the windows and the excess snow falls off. But not this morning, the window were frozen shut. So for extra fun I got to scrap and scrap, while the snow blew down sideways. As the snow swirled around me I wondered just why I spent all that time on my hair. I was also treated to popping the SUV into 4 wheel drive to avoid sliding into a ditch, it was a exciting drive into work. Upon my arrival, I navigated my way through the parking lot carrying extra shoes, lunch, purse and coffee without peripheral vision, because I got to wear my heavy jacket with the big hood again.
Mother Nature, you ignorant slut.

Good post, but the last sentence is a knockout. I wish I'd said that. ;)

We got more snow recently after losing most of it and actually being able to see the road again. No one has bothered to shovel this time. It's a complete revolt against mother nature.

So um...was the note of sarcasm on that last line? I think I may have missed it. ;)

We had rain one day and snow the next. Mother nature must be in menopause.

Whaaa! Mother Nature, you Ignorant Slut! Love it!

I am so dang sick of winter. I 've tried that trick with the window down, defrost, etc. too...sometimes it works and sometimes you have to dig the frost off! Arrgh!
