Everyday I'm Shovelin'

Thought I'd start off with this picture as to how weather was today:

Yeah, it was crazy today. We had a huge blizzard, and all the universities (including mine!) were shut down for today. I guess it would've mattered more had I shown up for the other past two days...

When I stepped outside, the snow was literally up to mid-thigh. The snow plows worked hard to get the roads cleared as much as possible—priority was given to the main roads, of course. Here's another image to show you what it was like today: (Gosh, I'm chock-full of images today, aren't I?)

Apparently there were armies of them, lol. I wasn't awake when they started doing their work. Speaking of work, my supervisor called to say that my shift had been cancelled because the store was completely dead due to the weather. Well, at least someone got paid that day.

You know, ever since global warming, Canadian weather has been weird as fuck. Today, it's snowing like crazy and we have a huge snowstorm. But apparently on Monday, it's going to be 6°C, which is really warm!

In December, it rained all month. It didn't snow at all, until the day after Christmas! Then, it snowed like crazy, then it rained, then it was so hot that people wore spring jackets, then it snowed like crazy again... see where I'm going here??

You know, I used to remember a time when weather was consistent. Sure, it was always cold, but you got used to it, and you knew what to expect. I remember one time when it rained like crazy, and then the next day it was so cold that the entire thing had iced over. Everything was covered in ice—grass, roads, pavement—and, a few hours later, salt was everywhere (much to the dismay of all the kids playing on the ice).

Nowadays, I always carry my umbrella, wear my snow boots, and keep a light jacket handy, in case it gets too warm. Now tell me if that's not fucked up. During last year's march break, it was freezing, then it was raining, then it was so hot people were wearing shorts, and then it snowed.

And that's Canadian weather. No one even listens to the weather forecasters anymore, since it's always completely random.
