Umbrellas In The Snow

Transplanting from a mountain/resort town culture to an urban one has dealt a lot of curiosities my way this winter, especially in regards to snow. Big Sky Montana, to my knowledge, has never seen the likes of a city-goer using an umbrella as if it would assist in any way during a snow storm, yet around Boston this is a fairly common occurrence.

In searching for an appropriate image for this post, I also realized that other cities have this phenomenon occur as well, and even the new york times (where i found this image actually) wrote an article about this here.

Last night an umbrella would have served a solid purpose, however, since it was more of an ice-rain than anything else, and all the sidewalks were streams with frozen underbelly's. Treacherous, soaked walking was something similar to hiking in the spring time out in Montana...

The Check is in the Mail!

There's been a lot of downtime, with the holiday season going on. A lot of waiting for emails, waiting for phone calls, and waiting at the mailbox. This downtime has been increasingly productive, as I just now fixed the bathroom door so it won't creep shut slowly all the time. Other various things I'm occupied with also, like watching the snow fall, and the people digging their cars out.

It's been a pretty low-key holiday season in these parts. Not what I'm used too...
