I've been waiting for it to snow here in PA since roughly November (or to be more realistic, really since the last snowfall in February last year or whenever it was). Snow is my favorite weather, and I love that in PA we don't get much of the ice that tends to accompany snow in KS. However, here it is, January 21st (Tony's birthday - YAY!!) --- and there's no snow, and there hasn't been any snow, and the only snow forecast in the foreseeable future is in the non-measurable category, so that doesn't really count either. There literally hasn't been ANY!!!
Okay, there was a dusting on the ground on Wednesday last week. But that dusting didn't really count for much of anything. And I didn't actually get to see it snow either, which is part of the problem.
Meanwhile, Malibu got four inches last week. I'm sure everyone involved would be happier if we could have taken their snowfall. Tony's mom won't make us rice pudding until we get a blizzard, and it's really good so I'm sad to have to continue to wait for it!!
Other than that, I've set myself the assignment of trying to read (and perhaps blog on) the rest of Malory, or on Boethius' the Consolation of Philosophy. And I should read the Book of the Duchess so I can go to the Chaucer class tomorrow and catch up on all the Chaucerian knowledge I've somehow randomly managed to miss despite being involved with Medieval Studies classes every semester of college from my sophomore year on - that puts me at 8 years of studying this stuff, and I've never really dealt much with Chaucer. Yet I've read Piers Plowman in its untranslated, unabridged form. And Geoffrey of Monmouth. Etc. Strange.

I made my first snowman ever last night. You should visit Wisconsin. Even in our "mild" winter, we have about 6 inches of snow on the ground at any given time.
