Oh Lotusland, why hast thou foresaken me? Eh?

Snow switched to rain last night around midnight.  Bleah.  We went out for our Sunday breakie and grocery run, and it has melted a lot, but the sidewalks are worse than before.  Double-plus bleah.

I keep flinging out cereal for the sparrows.  What's odd is that when Sammie hops up on the box by the window and does that cat warble that means the cat is looking at birds, the birds don't even twitch.  Not even when he drools audibly.  When either I or SOGP show up, they don't even wait for us to get close to the window before they are gone.  I would have thought a cat silhouette would be more dangerous than a people silhouette - but hey: they're the ones surviving in the big city; I'm sure they have their reasons.

Blizzard.

And not in the good ice creamy way.

It has been snowing for the last hour - howling straight down snow.  Bus routes are closed all over the lowermainland.  Buses are stuck on their routes all over the lowermainland.  The sea level can't rise because we are getting all that extra water as snow.  Argh.
