Re: Sunday morning, cont.
I'm so jealous of your lefse. I'm not sure I'll have time to make them this year. I might have to see if the local bakery sells any, because it won't be Christmas without it.
Off to make brunch, and brownies. See you all later, enjoy your Sunday!

CCF- I love your sig. It makes me chuckle everytime I see it.
Pirate- you guys really don't get snow there? That confuses me. You all are wimps :P Last year in December we got 2 feet of snow on a Sunday. I had a training Monday morning on the opposite site of the metro (like a 45 minute drive on a good day). We had dropped $1000 on it, so I couldn't skip. It took me 2 hours to shovel out my car, but I'll be dammed if I didn't make it there. haha
Nothing was even closed that day. No schools or anything. The plows go out all night long, over and over again as it continues to snow. It's actually pretty awesome.

It snows, just not like y'all are talking about.
I'm trying to find some statistics for you. But here's a link to some pictures from last year's "big" snowfall. I know that the photos were taken on Sunday and I didn't work on Monday. You can see how the main roads were cleared but nothing else was touched. These are in the state capitol, smaller towns don't have plow equipment. When I was growing up our town would just put sand down over the roads, no salt, no plow.
Here's a local news article about the same storm.
This wiki page shows that the average annual snowfall for the area I'm in is about 7 inches.

Yeah. Go right on through it. Just take the corners a little more carefully and they usually spray salt chemical to prevent hidden ice.

ETA: Y'all have winter tires or something though, right? We don't.

Yay! I was hating that too.
Well, my truck does and has 4x4 but my H's little pontiac doesn't. We do just fine.

haha that's so funny to me, how different it is from one area of the country to another. We got about an inch last night? Nothing was plowed. They probably should've thrown some sand (we don't really use salt either- it's bad for the wildlife when it melts into the Mississippi) on some of the intersections, but oh well.
This is the snow I was talking about, that I had to drive an hour in. We didn't close anything for this storm (they should have though.) Our 4-lane freeways were down to about 2-3 lanes (and 1, maybe 2 around the curves in the road.)
WHY WON"T PICTURES WORK!?

ETA: haha. I kept looking at those pictures. You know how the 'side' roads had the packed down snow? Our roads were like that from the first snowfall in December until about April last year. The City of Minneapolis had a 'snow emergency' (you can only park on one side of the road) for 4 months.

I just made a crapton of rice krispie squares for work tomorrow. Ive never made them before and its a biitch and a half to get it in the pan and make it flat, everything kept sticking to the spatula and pulling back out. Stupid sticky crap.
I am trying to make my coworkers fat lol. I might swing by costco and get a thing of christmas biscuts (the kind covered in various chocolates) for friday. Muahahaha
I hope you give lots to your *** co-irker
Tip for rice krispies- put a sandwich bag on your hand and grease it lightly (either with Pam or just smearing a little margarine on it.) Then you can just press down all of the gooey mess and make it flat.

Lol adam tried telling me to just use a paper towel to press it down. I knew deep down that wouldnt work, even remotely, so I passed on his suggestion.
My co-irker has a major sweet tooth and she was complaining on friday that she has just been eating everything lately. How unfortunate! I will just keep feeding her, I suppose. Its the least I can do :P
