It's 5 p.m. It's starting to snow. The first of the season and the first one I have seen in years. I took my hot buttered rum and sat by the picture window. Watching the snowflakes drift down, clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It was so pristine and beautiful.

I awoke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight. Every tree and shrub covered by a beautiful white mantle. I shoveled snow for the first time in years and loved it. I did both the driveway and the sidewalk. Later, a city snowplow came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and waved. I waved back and shoveled it again.

IT snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temperature dropped to about 11 degrees. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shoveled the driveway again. Shortly afterwards, the snowplow came by and pulled his trick again. Now, much of the snow is brownish gray.

It warmed up enough during the day to create some slush that soon became ice when the temperature dropped again. Bought snow tires for the car. Fell on my ass in the driveway. $145 to a chiropractor, but nothing was broken. More snow and ice expected.

Still cold as hell. Had another 11 inches of the white shit last night. More shoveling in store for me today. My vehicle covered in salt and crud. Bought a sled in order to get to work. Slid into the guardrail anyway and did a considerable amount of damage to the right rear quarter panel. That damn snowplow came my twice today.

It's 2 fucking degrees outside. More fucking snow. Not a tree or shrub on my property that hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles and a kerosene heater, which tipped over and nearly burned the fucking house down. I managed to put the flames out, but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands and I lost all of my eyelashes and eyebrows. The car slid off the road on the way to the emergency room and was totaled.

Mother fucking damn white shit keeps on coming down. Have to put on all the clothes I own just to get to the fucking mailbox. If I ever catch that son of a bitch that drives the snowplow, I'll draw open his chest and rip his heart out. I think he hides around the corner and waits till I shovel my driveway again! Power is still off. Toilet froze and part of the roof started to cave in.

Six damn more fucking inches of fucking snow and fucking sleet and fucking ice and no telling what other kind of white fucking shit fell last night. I wounded the fucking snowplow asshole with an ice axe, but he got away. Car won't start. I think I am going snow blind. I can't feel my fucking toes. Haven't seen the sun in weeks. More white shit predicted. Wind chill is -22 fucking degrees below zero. I'm moving my ass back to Texas.
