Can You Tell What This Is?

Yeah, kinda hard for me too, and it’s my own front yard.

That would be our bird house in the front yard (yes, it’s woppy-jawed, just like everything else in our life) in a snow storm we had the other day.

We got snow. 

That may not be noteworthy for you, particularly in the last few weeks, but it is for us.

We were too south for the first round of snow.  And too north for the second round.  Rain, rain, and more rain.  But unexpectedly after church the rain turned to snow (and not ice).  It just kept falling.  Huge beautiful flakes.  It covered everything, stayed briefly to wow us, and then slipped quietly away.

I may be sick of winter, but the snow was a welcome visitor.

    Two things: First of all, snow is ALWAYS cool to me… but then again, that's because I live in Austin and get snow exactly once every 16 years.

    Second: I'm loving your term woppy-jawed – never heard that one before, but I think I must adopt it :)

    Isn't it great how a little snow can make winter more bearable? Now that we had the big snow I was wishing for I am SO ready for winter to be O-VER!

    I didn't coin the phrase, though I've been using it my entire life.
    The Online Slang Dictionary defines it as:
    woppy-jawed
    •not quite right. off-kilter. out of alignment. off balance.

    “The closet door is all woppy-jawed. It won't close all the way”

    “You need to tighten the bolt on that tractor seat. Its all woppy-jawed”

    Yep, that sounds about right to me.
