Snow, Snow, Snow

We’ve been back home for 3 weeks now and we’ve already had 3 different snow falls each with 2-4” of snow. Today I woke up to another 2” and it was -2 degrees. I’ve been thinking of joining a gym, but with all of the scooping, I do get a lot of exercise.
Last Saturday I drove to Omaha and before I left Lincoln, it had started snowing. By the time I got to Omaha, it was really coming down. The Omaha radio station said to expect 1” only, so I kept going.
I was in Omaha for only 2 hours and the snow kept coming down. I finally had to cut my visit short and head home. On the way back, the same Omaha radio station said to expect 4” of snow and the worst of it was the I-80 corridor between Lincoln and Omaha, rats. A local friend of mine said to never believe the weather forecast in Nebraska and it is true.
The ride home was slow-going at 25-35mph. Everyone was single file where you could actually get your tires on the road. Some fools would speed around you, but you’d eventually pass them as they’d spin out into the ditch.
We knew we’d be moving back to snow, but I do not recall it being this frequent. I guess 12 years in Texas has softened me up more than I thought. I definitely need to speed up my time-table for purchasing a snow-blower.
