ohh this storm is some bullshit

not just because I'm just about twenty miles south of real snow or anything, but it's somewhat that. We're in the freezing rain section of this storm. Sleet zone. ...I left a cat bowl of water on the porch. If it even has a layer of ice over it, I'm calling out of work. This state doesn't have the anti-ice stuff. No salted roads. No extra draining highway asphalt that doesn't ice. Nah. Nah. It's a death trap and I've needed new tires for months. I'm not fucking with that.

And it's just cold and wet. It's not even the fun kind of winter storm where I can enjoy witnessing FL people seeing snow for the first time in their lives.

#taks speaks #it's snowing in fl. it's gotten to 9in in the panhandle #which is literally insane and definitely evidence of climate change #BUT the sheer glee and torture for full grown adults to have a moment of childlike whimsy #and see snow for the first time is something to behold #then the torture of having it be cold #but it's just fascinating bc the two guys around me the most are both full blooded florida boys #and being in their 20s and 30s and literally have never seen snow once #tbf when the older one was a toddler was the last time it snowed in fl and it was less than a half inch #that was in '89 #ntm he apparently lived in idaho for a while and somehow has still never seen real snow #the other one hasn't even really left the state until i dragged him up to my mom's for christmas #i want to push them both into a snow drift and i'm saying this both evilly and affectionately #also the air pressure changes are murdering my spine and ears #so that's another reason this sucks
