temporarily blogging again

we're back after a month long hiatus. welcome to our temporary blog home. this is a great example of why vanity URLs are great for blogging. we're still with blogger (for now..) but we have a completely new account. instead of two separate blogs for karen and amos, we can now blog in the same page. so when amos writes his annual post you can read it right along with mine. :-)

anyways. down to business.

it's snowing again. let's refresh our memories about this winter. it snowed a smidglebit in early december. nothing worth noting. there was white. we rejoiced. then on december 18, the sky crapped white all over town. we had over 2 feet at our house. it took exactly 1 month for the snow to melt. and then 5 days later it snowed another foot. and then a few days later another 2 feet. that snow is still melting. so you can imagine my excitement when i look out the window and see a mini blizzard going on. the snow hasn't been sticking for the past few hours, but my car is now starting to turn white.

snow is pretty. i love it. i grew up near the coast of california. it snows there like 1/4 inch every 30 years. it snowed seriously the WEEK AFTER I MOVED. i am not kidding. i was so pissed. the snow in december was awesome. it was my first major storm. i didn't mind shoveling. i didn't mind being snowed in for a few days. it started getting a little older after a few weeks of dealing with the aftermath, but whatever. flash forward to the present. over it. done.

when is spring? not the day we proclaim it to be said season, but the time when it's done snowing and the days start warming up. i want to open the windows. go on a walk. not shovel snow.
