Well, as with a few of my friends (Doug and Bobbi just to name some that blogged about it) I was stuck smack dab in the middle of the massive snow storm that hit Missouri this last weekend. It was kinda hard to tell how much I got at my house since I’m on top of a ridge and it drifted a lot, but I’m guessing that it was about 14 inches. Just as an example of drifting, I have a flowerbed next to my driveway that’s about 2-2.5 feet above the driveway. Looking out, I couldn’t tell where flowerbed ended and the driveway began.

On another note, this storm just reconfirmed my beliefs as a Darwinist. What I mean by that is survival of the fittest - or in this case the smartest. Seeing the dumb, stupid, and idiotic ways people drive (and park!!!) when there’s snow and ice just irritates me to no end. After seeing some of the stellar examples of peoples driving I’m thinking that we need to repeal the mandatory seatbelt law and just let nature take it’s course. (My appologies to Dennis Miller for borrowing his catch phrase) But that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.
