we got 30-36 inches of snow on the ground, it is 34˚F and raining right now (should turn into about 1-2 inch layer of inch on the ground) and then we are expecting 6-8 inches of fresh snow when it turns to snow later today.
So we got bad weather, a depressed industrial city in post-industrial America, and big-boned women of Northern European stock that drink like fish and hump like bunnies. I am not feeling a lot of love for my newly adopted home city. Although I did go last night into the shittiest part of town with a priest friend of mine and hang out at this awesome BBQ place. Good food, great people. The whole place was laughing with us and tell jokes. One of the workers came up to us mid-meal and said "You are the first whites that have eaten in here in 6 months". We were told to come back, but not to tell our friends as too many whites would ruin the place.
Hanging out with a priest gets you into a lot of places you otherwise would feel uncomfortable.
