Still Marooned

[morgaina]

No improvement here.
I got hold of Snow Plow Guy who said I was low on his list of priorities. Well, not exactly in those words, but he has a lot of places to plow before mine and today looks unlikely too. He says town (Moscow) is a mess. I wouldn't know being unable to see it and judge for myself.

I walked to the mailbox yesterday and it was one of the worst hikes I have ever taken. Deep, deep, snow and wind blowing in my face all the way. But again with the priorities, there was the fact that I had to mail my Netflicks. ;-)

I have enough heat for 12 more days assuming the electricity doesn't go out. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

wow, you're still getting mail! You need a mail truck in which to travel, obviously. :) Sorry you are having such sucky weather. Maybe you should call the gas or oil or whatever heating people and make an appointment now to have them come give you a refill in case of more storms in the near future?

Then start buying those lottery tickets...

I haven't been to the mailbox today, so I don't know.
My mailbox is on the highway which is 1/8 of a mile away from my house through the deep snow, which I have to trudge through, and trudging is not an exaggeration. There are still a few trucks on the highway. The mail delivery and pick-up are less of a problem than me actually *getting* to my mailbox.
I use wood pellets for heat, so I have to drive to the hardware store to pick them up, I also have a small wood stove, but my wood is under many layers of snow, so I was buying presto-logs, but again, I have to drive to town to buy them.
