UPDATE on Heat AND How the Snow is BAD NEWS!!!!

Need to worry folks.  The heat came back on at my house and I did not freeze to death in the comfort of my own home.  The heat in the bedrooms came back on Wednesday afternoon and in the living room on late Wednesday night.  Good thing too, because Bitch Nature decided to drop another 16 inches of snow on my ass on Thursday.  Now all I have to worry about is the fucking room collapsing and costing me handfuls of money.  The pellet stove people come out on Monday to fix that and I’ll finally be able to turn down the heat and stop using my precious oil.  Although I’m warm, I can see the dollars coming out of those baseboards and it isn’t very pretty.  I never knew how much I loved that damn pellet stove until it went out.  Monday can’t come soon enough!

Now let’s get back to the 16 inches of snow that decided to come from the sky AGAIN this Wednesday.  Seriously, when is it going to be enough?  I’ve had enough of this winter!  I know we were let off the last couple of winters, but you know what, I’m fine with that.  I think I’d be fine with 45-50 inches of snow a winter, not 50-60 inches of snow in ONE MONTH of winter.  We still have about 2 months more of this crap and from what the weatherman told me this morning, the model doesn’t look like it’s changing anytime soon.  We’re going to get creamed until late February and there is already another storm on the horizon for next Wednesday.  I call uncle Old Man Winter.  Enough is enough!

What really bother's me is all these people on Facebook and face to face interactions saying how much they love this snow.  Really?  You love this snow?  Either you must really be a ski fanatic or you really don’t give a shit about your personal property and most important investment, your house.  Or you plain don’t own a house and could care less.  Whatever the case, listen up!  This winter is absolutely terrifying if you own a house right now.  With 10-12 inches of snow on my roof, we are risking ice dams (flooding in the house due to build up of snow and ice near gutter systems), roof collapses and substantial damage to other property around your house (a hot tub and deck for me).  I am going to end up having to pay some daredevil to get up on my roof to shovel the ridiculous amount of snow I have up there.  I can’t get up there, its way too hazardous and a snow rake can only work on certain sections of my tall ass house.

My wife works for Travelers and about 75% of her claims are flooding in the house and roof collapses recently.  These claims are a lot of money and I just don’t understand with the long term ramifications of these snow amounts how anyone can say they love and they want more snow.  They can’t be homeowners, they just can’t be, because if they were, they’d be like me and terrified of losing a substantial amount of money or already losing money to prevent a disaster from happening.  Think people, THINK!!!!  This is a bigger situation than, “oh I love it, it looks so pretty….”

Maybe it’s me but we’ve had enough snow and people that don’t think so can EAT SHIT BITCH!!!  (Stole that last line from my 48 year old uncle and a rant he had on Facebook recently).

NOTE – This is not directed solely at my one and only follower.  He’s only one of about 10 people that have told me or that I’ve seen on Facebook that have expressed their undying love to the devil’s snow that’s dropping from the sky…..
