I think this month can be best summed up in one word: SNOW.

SO. MUCH. SNOW.

We got off easy last year. If memory serves me correctly, we had the occasional flurry, but I don’t remember a state of emergency being declared or mass cancellations going into effect for days at a time. It seemed February 2013 was payback for all those weeks we spent last winter blissfully leaving our shovels in our garages and being able to drive on the highway without sliding all over the place.

When I wasn’t attempting to build an igloo or a series of tunnels to get around my neighborhood (neither plan worked) this month, I was putting my nose to the grindstone at my job, scouting new urban exploration locations, learning new recipes, and planning for what looks to be an eventful March. I’ve got a couple of really good shows coming up, as well as a mini-vacation in Southern California near the end of the month that I’m looking forward to.

I’ve also been doing some extensive research for something I have planned for this Summer (as if the titles of the books aren’t total giveaways as to what it is).

Bring on Spring! I can’t wait to for the flowers to bloom, and to be able to go outside without having to wear 3-4 different layers of clothes so I don’t freeze.
