Dear Mother Nature,

Whatever I did to piss you off, I'm completely and totally sorry. I didn't mean it.

Love,
wook

Dear God,

I'm sorry for taking Your name in vain. I'll probably do it again but it doesn't lessen how sorry I am.

In addition, I promise to start going to church more regularly. Or is it that I actually stepped foot into a church on Saturday that you cast this blight down upon Arizona?

A sign for which one caused snow in Arizona and I'll do the opposite. Promise.

Love ya,
wook

Hell Arizona has frozen over. We're one big blanket of snow and ice. Below the cut is a picspam from last night and this morning. It took me two hours to get in to work because asshat morons down here see a snowflake coming down and freak the fuck out. Then, they closed every bridge. Then, the radio announces the bridges are open and yet, I sat staring at one that was CLOSED for half an hour. Thank God for [livejournal.com profile] ficlette keeping me sane in the car. I only said 'fuck' about ninety times during our phone call.

Actual conversation from this morning with my neighbor (we'll call him 'bob'):

wook: *scrapes ice off windshield using newly found ice scraper (I used a cd case the last ice we had)
bob: Whatcha doing?
wook: scraping ice off my windshield *thinks err, duh?*
bob: whatcha using?
wook: an ice scraper
bob: I've never seen one of those before
wook: *goggles*
bob: well, I've seen 'em hanging up in Pep Boys but never actually seen one being used. Does it work?
wook: um, yep, like a charm.
bob: wow, I'll have to go get me one.
wook: don't bother, you can borrow mine.
bob: how do I use it?
wook: nevermind, I'll do it for you. *scrapes bob's windshield*
bob: wow, that's handy.

My packrat tendencies have now been redeemed. Everyone LAUGHED when I saved this stupid thing. I boxed it up over 3 years ago and just found it last night. My timing is excellent.




It's started coming down.


More snow coming down.


My grill is fucked.


Arizona "slushyman"


my poor car


my sister thinks she's funny


she gets to park under a tree and thus doesn't get nearly as much snow


but she still had to take my mum's car into work cause hers wouldn't run this morning. *pwns*


snow


palm trees with snow


cactus with snow


more of the devil's white shit


more proof that god hates me


pretty mountains or they would be if I didn't live in ARIZONA AND HATE THE FUCKING SNOW

Your co-workers called in for that amount of snow??? Dude! Okay. To be fair, I have always lived with snow. In the winters, that is. But, like, lots of snow. I do understand that places that aren't accustomed to having snow in any amount get a bit freaked out by it. Where I live, a "blizzard" means over two feet of snow, not two inches, and I've never in my life had school cancelled because of snow (the cold, though, once), nor had that considered an acceptable reason to miss work - unless you were out of town overnight and the highways haven't been ploughed yet. :P

Sample pictures, just for fun. I found them on google, but they're from my city. :)

Car buried in snow:



Sidewalks before the ploughs came (note how the guy walking isn't wearing mittens or gloves, lol):



Which is not to say that the snow, in any amount, is not a bitch. It most certainly is. *hugs*
