and now for the weather

[morgaina]

I'm still marooned, I can't get out no one else can get in.

I suppose I could sit back and enjoy my enforced vacation, but I am too much of an A type personality to do that. I probably wouldn't have driven to work today even if my car was accessable because the highway has visibility of 100 feet & that isn't enough for the serious drifting and blizzard conditions.

Snow plow guy didn't come yesterday, my guess is the roads he had scheduled to plow before mine were so difficult to clear that he underestimated the time it took. Today is worse than before, so I might ask him to wait until tomorrow to plow, there is still snow predicted Friday, but less wind. Yesterday I shoveled quite a bit, but the wind and snow filled in all my efforts.

While I won't say I'm panicing, I have run out of shredded wheat and am unable to get more. THAT is the kind of suffering I am going through.

Wow. Just like a Montana winter! Which is why I moved here.

You could move here. Not right now obviously as it would be devilishly hard for anybody to come help you if even the snow plow guy is too busy to plow your road.

Do you still get mail? Maybe we could express a few boxes of shredded wheat?

Winning the lottery is my best bet, which means that someday I must buy a ticket.

I was wondering about mail, too.

Care packages okay? Can't have you running out of booze hot cocoa, now, can we?

Really, supplies-wise I'm fine. I usually have enough food stored for a couple of months because I am teh obsessive-compulsive. Heat supplies are the only thing at the back of my mind.
I probably couldn't get packages larger than my mailbox I'd have to go to the post office to pick them up and I'm not going anywhere for awhile.
It's the enforced confinement that has me annoyed.
I can tell right now I am going to be a big problem for the staff in a nursing home in that far off someday ;-)
