There's snow, then there's SNOW


Joe Palmer, a maintenance worker at Mt. Rainier National Park, Wash., is dwarfed by the amount of snow covering the Jackson visitors Center at Paradise Thursday afternoon, Feb. 14, 2008, as he shovels out an entrance into the building. Palmer and scores of other park staff have spent hundreds of hours removing snow along the road from Longmire to Paradise trying to re-open the road to the public.

If this is supposed to keep from from complaining about the amount of snow I've had to shovel this winter, it's not going to work.

Still not feeling it.

This is why I live in Florida. I've never yet had to shovel heat, humidity, or fire ants from my driveway, let alone my roof.

Ah--but if you COULD shovel away the humidity, you would, wouldn't you? I can't breathe down there! Of course, at 0 degrees and wind chills hovering at 25 below as we go to vote today, I can't breathe here, either.

Let's all move to Hawaii.
