YAY! Snow day. heart
BOO! State of emergency. wahmbulance
Sure, we all love snow days, but it really sucks when you lose your power overnight because the amount of ice rain that has fallen is enough to completely freeze the roads and cause the snow that it is mixing with it to turn harder and make it nearly impossible to remove the ice. Never-the-less, when I woke up, it was less than 60 degrees in the house (Not a big deal when you have no power and it just finished raining death outside your window) and when I looked outside EVERYTHING was literally covered in ice. It was like a winter hell land that could only be thought of by a imaginative eight year old girl who then realizes that living in a faux land of glass is really a bastardization of man and can't be comprehended. surprised
So I get up and do my morning routine: yawn, strech, make my way to the bathroom and get very pissed because I realize the electric water heater was off. In addition we had one of my brothers friends stay the night because the storm was so bad and we weren't set to trot his a** across 3 miles and then march 3 miles back, so we had too house him for the night (Additionally, not a very big deal).
Dress up in 3 pairs of clothing to mantain optimal body heat and the next thing I know I have to go un-jimmy our car doors because THEY FROZE THE ******** OVER. Attempting to open the doors was a futile effort because water seemed to seep into the door cracks and freeze the door and the frame of the car together overnight.
In turn I had to spend 30 minutes with a ice scraper to wail on the car and clear off all the ice. Somehow I managed to rip open my finger in the process. Not sure how that one worked. >.>;;
Anyways, I wanted to stay in my below-60 degree home that day but my mother insisted I go over to my aunts house because, "It has heat and she has food and the house has electricity..!" ********, I missed out on some qualitity sit-on-my-a**-and-hang-out-with-my-bird action today.
The one snow day in Kirkwood sucks.

Our windshield totally cracked up because of the scientific mass-increasing-from-heat thing that resulted when we set the air conditioning of the windshield too high in order to try to get rid of the ice.
