OK, back in 2008 I learned a new work - SNARD. It is in the Urban Dictionary, so I'm not making this up. Snard is the snow/ice/dirt conglomerate that hangs from cars in hard clumps in the winter. I just have this overwhelming compulsion to kick those off - the bigger the chunk, the better! I know I'm not alone in this simple pleasure!

Iris' Jeep used to taunt me when I worked at the SeaGate Centre in Toledo - it usually had some fabulous snard on it, but since we have security cameras down there, I felt a little weird about walking up to cars and 'kicking' them! But I know that Iris would understand that I NEEDED to kick the snard off her car. :)

This is one of the things I REALLY miss about living in the north during the winter months......one of the FEW things. But if I'm being honest, I would have to admit that I miss the snow a little bit - just a really good hard snowfall......but then again, a 'really good hard snowfall' up in Toledo 2 years ago caused me to have to cancel a vacation to see my Mom and I also had to SHOVEL MY YARD so that Maggie would have a cleared out area in the grass to go potty. SICK!!!

I have that same obsession to kick that crap off of my car. However, I can truly say that I wouldn't miss the snow if it didn't come. People drive like complete goofs when we get a flake or two.

You must have taken this picture from here yesterday. I tried to venture toward our old "love nest" and it look me an hour to get to Penn and 98th from work. That sucked.
It's zero degrees right now in t-town. Still miss it?

Did my picture mail of the snard make you sad or happy? PS It's 5 degrees here today. FIVE.
PPS My Jeep had the BEST snard.
Your picture of snard made me happy - I love it! I just wish I could kick some off myself! Your Jeep created AMAZING snard. It was simply irresistible. :)
I miss the snow a little bit, but NOT the super freezing temps. NOT AT ALL. It's going to be 64 degrees and sunny here today and I'm happy as a clam. :)
I just taught someone about Snard the other day. I thought of you!! :)
