Ironic that the blizzard of '78 was 35 years ago this week. I remember coming out of the office, looking to the driveway, and only seeing the upper half of the car roofs. The entire remainder of the cars were buried in snow.

Actually, that's coincidence. Irony refers to something happening or something said about someone where the underlying meaning is the exact opposite of the literal meaning. A coincidence describes completely independent events that happened to interact in an unexpected way.

For example it's ironic, that most of the "ironies" Alanis Morrisette sings about in her song "Ironic", are actually coincidences....
Her line about "Rain on your wedding day" is coincidence -- but would be quite ironic if you were getting married to Ra, the Sun god.


Anyway -- I'll take off my Grammar-Nazi hat now.....

Not me! I just got a 55 gallon drum of flour and 2 cases of Sterno! I'll make my own bread!

When I went out to look at the driveway the next morning it was really strange. I had my Lotus JPS in the driveway with a Datsun parked about two feet behind it. Due to wind patterns and drifting, the Datsun was buried with three feet of snow on top and more than six feet of snow behind it. The Lotus was completely bare, including the ground under it - just a little ice on the windshield. Wish I had taken a picture of that! My end of the street I lived on had more than seven feet of snow in the street. The other end of the block had no more than three feet of snow in the street.

Look at #3 below:


i·ron·ic
[ahy-ron-ik] Show IPA

adjective
1.
words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning; containing or exemplifying irony: an ironic novel; an ironic remark.

2.
of, pertaining to, or tending to use irony or mockery; ironical.

3.
coincidental; unexpected: It was ironic that I was seated next to my ex-husband at the dinner

Whether this is "ironic" or "coincidental" (maybe it's an "ironic coincidence"), we are in for a hell of a lot of snow. Blizzard watches in place, they are now saying we may see two feet of snow. Better cancel cruise night...

WOW!!!
That would just about touch the bottom of the skid plates on my winter vehicle.

So now that they are saying 1-2 ft (we all know that means about 6 inches) I will be able to use my snow shoes for the first time. I actually bought them 3 YEARS AGO!!!!
The bad thing is I have an important pick up that I have to do either Friday or Saturday (we are pushing to Saturday). More details about this later.
