here is how i know it will snow on friday
tomorrow, friday, i turn 36. they are saying snow tonight, maybe enough to keep us all in on friday.
here is how i know that we will definitely be snowed in: because exactly 20 years ago tomorrow, we were snowed in.
obviously, it was my 16th birthday. my 15th had been really fabulous. my parents had surprised me with dinner at the angus barn and i had a wonderful time. i got to dress up and it was yummy and there was cake.
my mom did her best to make something of my 16th birthday, but the snow ruined our plans. i was a sullen teenager and i felt gypped. i had been sold on the idea that 16 was supposed to be something really special. i was such an asshole back then.
so anyway. exactly 20 years later? and they're predicting snow? it's too perfect. except snow wouldn't ruin it this time. i heart snow (so long as i'm not driving in it) and i would be quite happy to stay home tomorrow.

happy birthday!
did you get any snow at the CECoD? (it looks like the snow/rain line was somewhere around I85)
