I feel like an overprivileged brat for the second time today writing about this, but it's tropical out there.  Warm and muggy and very windy, with that weird light that comes from a certain kind of cloud cover -- like we're going to have sunshowers or even a full-bore rainstorm with the sun glaring through.  It's not very cloudy, but the clouds that are there are heavy looking.  Did I mention the wind?  It's not dropping palm fronds on my car, but it feels like it will.

I spent the afternoon attempting to clear snow I did not clear Wednesday (when Chicagoland shut down and we spent the day trying to get the driveway cleared). With the aid of a snowblower much smaller than the snowdrifts, and a lot of shoveling to reduce the snow to levels the snowblower could handle, I managed to get the sidewalk clear. A triumph.

Nevertheless, I do not resent you.

(I may be overprivileged myself because, for the first season in my life, I have a working snowblower.)

I can't even begin to feature life like that, with me so lazy and spaced out most of the time. Would I even live through one of your regular winters, let alone what you're experiencing now?
