I was really looking forward to unleashing my winter weather elitism on this town and I’m glad I finally have the chance. =) Midwesterners pride themselves on being able to withstand the shittiest weather and coldest temps. My co-workers at UofL are impressed that I’m pretty nonplussed about the snow, and I don’t bother to tell them that I bitched and whined about the weather pretty much 8 months out of the year when I lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Christy, Rania and I are supposed to go to Lexington this weekend to see Josh, so I genuinely hope things clear up. I’m confident that I can drive in this, but I don’t want to put Christy and Rania through unnecessary stress if they’re nervous about being on the roads. Truth is, no matter how good of I driver I think I am in the snow, that doesn’t prevent the other thousands of shitty drivers in Kentucky from plowing into us.
