So, it would appear that things are back to normal....

Well, as normal as it gets in Carson City during the winter.

Can anything really be called normal when our recent snowfall results in what I like to refer to as parking lot icebergs, or just 'lotburgs?'

If you don't live in a snow-prone area, you may not reailize that any significant snowfall requires a plowing of the parking lot to make it functional. Depending on the amount of snow, these things can be obscenly huge!!

I submit the following for your perusal:

They run the gamut, from the merely sublime:



And I know, this doesn't technically count, as it's the street, and not a parking lot, but you get the idea. My favorite part is how it picks up all the dirt, sand, and other partiulate matter (exhaust anyone) and transforms from the blissful whitness of a snowfall into the blackend mess you see above. Or below:



Yes, that one's like 7 feet tall, and 20 or so feet long. And with the temperatures being what they have been (24 on my way in today) you can bet that it's not going anywhere anytime soon. This one shows the beginnings of the ridiculous, which is shown in it's fullness here:



You may be able to tell from that photo, but that fucking thing's like 100 feet long or so, and well over 7 feet tall.

That fucking thing's going to be there until June, and it's just going to keep looking better and better, as it absorbs more black shit and continues to decay. It's almost criminal.

Buenos con queso,
