four inches yesterday and now we're having an ice storm. The snow was nice. I could do without todays offering. It looks like my car has been coated with that stuff they spray on truckbeds.

There are currently three feet of snow in Santa Fe.

We passed 3,000 soldiers pointlessly killed in Iraq just before midnight. That's without mentioning the 100-600,000 Iraqi civilians dead. We could use a couple of additional hangings for crimes against humanity but they would need to be closer to home.

santa fe has 3 feet and you have less in NH? this is an off year for up there.. i have been to see my dad this time of year and the snow was so high he had to make a tunnel through the snow bank to find the mail box...

We have NO snow in Haliburton and today it is raining. This really not a normal winter. Snowmobile riders are very crabby this year. BUT husband very happy no tractor 7 foot snowblower events. Lia

Too much snow? Well, I guess it depends what you want to do with it. The Denver Airport and all concerned passengers, mail & UPS shipments were unfortunately hampered in their transport, but (I can't believe this town!) our local Postal Employees delivered Christmas packages to us on Christmas Eve (a Sunday), which was quite unexpected. I don't know if that happened everywhere, but it was surely above & beyond what I'd have asked of them.

You know it's bizzare.......My local 'world' is pretty great, and I know a lot of the world is pretty decent for people, but so much of it is also so violent and chaotic that it's hard to reconcile the importance of day to day here (funny how international events don't affect my landlords' due dates) with the horrific day to day of Iraq, or Somalia (just read the Ethiopian military has almost finished the 'takeover' phase of the 'stabilization' (let's hope) of Somalia), or other parts of Africa. Geez, it sure would have been neat if 'our' government could have spent 1/2 the money on medicines and infrastructure where people ask for it, instead of obliviously stomping into such a mess, whreby so many people have been killed. At least Saddam is gone. Somehow it doesn't add up to a silver lining.....

Ugh.

Enough of that.
