Re: shoveling (I keep wanting to say shovelling but the spell-checker insists it is not so. Hmph.)

--Ahaha, I thought we were in the 20s. Nope, it's like 5F and the wind--which I thought had died down but noooo--is making it feel about -20F. Woo\o/ Being outside for a couple hours was FUN :D FUN, I tell you.

--The creepiest thing is the roarroarhisshowlwail of said wind in the dark just before dawn. It's not much better once it's light out. It's the sort of wind that makes a person invoke deities.

--Snowdrifts. AWESOME. \o/ Not sure what the average depth was, but lot of spots on the driveway that were up to my knees, sidewalk was about half that. Up by the front porch bush was like thigh level (poor Mom got that bit >_<; ) Wind's still going like crazy, we'll have to clean it all up again, I'm sure. How can powder be so dense and hard-packed, seriously.

--I am extremely out of shape, and the biggest wuss and whiner ever. This however, comes as no surprise. Real oatmeal (no instant crap, thx, there's real steelcut in the frozen section at SuperTarget, microwavable ♥) and cocoa are awesome, however.

Re: something other than snow zomg
--WoW patch 3.3 is out \o/ Surprisingly not the bugfest I expected, lag was high once it hit evening, but that's unavoidable.

--New 5man dungeons were *neat*. More so than any other instances, they really make you feel part of a storyline, very involved, and the chain of one to another to another very much makes you feel part of the story.

--The 'need/greed/disenchant' system is surprisingly awesome. Love just getting the enchanting materials right off the bat. The new PUG system for assembling groups cross-server also works out pretty danged sweet. The automatic teleport to the instance is really cool, even if it meant I got goddamned *lost* trying to find the zone in on a corpse run.

--Haven't seen the Icecrown Citadel raid stuff yet, but will tonight. Guild's 10man group last night already got down the currently available bosses on regular mode.

Oh my god, this post terrifies me. And I thought 35 degrees was bad. DID YOU SAY -20? I would die if I was where you are. Literally just keeled over dead.

Yeah, 5F but wind chill makes it feel a lot, lot less. It's one of the fun things about the midwest, the way wind can be nasty during the worst storm. Too flat, not enough hills to block it. XD; Personally, I'd love to move to somewhere like Seattle--the husband is rooted, though. ^^; Bah.
