i like when it snows, i really do..but i liked it better when it meant i had a day off from school. now that i (or my friends) have to drive everywhere and a drive a decent distance to see my friends, im starting to hate it. i mean, i go to school upstate where there's a TON of snow, from october to april. but they know how to plow the streets near buffalo. here, when long island has the occasional flurries, people panic. now that we're on blizzard numero dos, in 2 weeks, people are ready for another snowpocalypse. its ridiculous, really. 12-15 inches isnt usual for long island, but its not unheard of. and it doesnt mean you should stock up on food--this isn't nazi germany, you dont need to hide out in your basement like there's an air raid going on.
and dear idiots across the state--when you park on the street, it means the snow plows CANNOT plow the whole street. it means they miss huge chunks of snow, that freezes, and then people trying to drive down narrow streets or backing out of driveways can't get anywhere. its inconsiderate--and its hard enough for people to drive on slushy, icy roads. not everyone has 4-wheel drive!
why do so many people park on the streets when it snows? it seems like they all got a letter or something telling them to be as stupid as possible when we have a winter storm warning in effect. they all park their stupid cars in the street, and then park in the driveways a few days later. so we and every other block in the state has icebergs on their streets. its bad enough that the plows from one town only plow the first 10 feet of our block (our street is partially one town, mostly in the next town over) and the other plows come when they feel like it. which is pretty much never. so we're lucky if we even get plowed in the first place, but still--make it so the plows can actually move the snow. seriously, its not that hard.
sorry i complain so much! haha this will soon change, i plan to blog about sports (the ones i did in high school and college) tomorrow as i enjoy the day snowed in.
until next time, enjoy yourselves!
