I got boots

They're green. The maufacture says they're rain boots, and I can go with that. I was thinking more along the lines of muck boots. I know they're not insulated. But they're tall, are wide enough I can stuff my jeans in them, and have a pretty decent sole on them. They'll work for now.

Thank you nice person

I would like to thank whoever the kind and anonymous person is who drove in and out my driveway with their large truck to knock down the funky and large ridge of snow and other stuff that would have kept my baby truck hostage in my driveway. THANKS

Oh, and yes, I know the Christmas lights have been on continuously for a few days now, but I can't get to the plug in. It is currently buried under a snow drift.

Snow

Most of Colorado is in the grips of a blizzard. This includes my little corner of paradise. I have lived in Colorado for a bit now and thought I knew what it was about. I have since learned that Colorado in an apartment is different than Colorado in your own home.

- I do NOT have appropriate footwear to go out and shovel snow that is as deep as the bumper of my truck.

- Multiple layers of clothes are great for keeping warm, but lousy for mobility.

- The guy across the street had a great idea when he had the front end loader clear his driveway and the street in front of his house. He had a lousy idea when the snow got piled right across from my driveway.

- Whoever said it was a light snow needs to reexamine the facts. I agree it isn't wet and heavy, but after being blown and packed for a day and a half it is many things, and light and fluffy isn't part of the description.

- Ergonomic snow shovels are worth the investment.

- I need a pair of coveralls.

- Hot chocolate is my friend.

- My normally odd dog gets even more bizarre in the snow.
