I wish to strongly protest this situation

4 to 7 inches of snow are expected to fall between 3 pm Monday and 3 pm Tuesday.

THEN the blizzard hits.

Another 15 to 21 inches expected into Wednesday evening.

Oh, look! The sun is going to shine on Thursday!

Friday, Saturday, Sunday... more snow.

*flails*

Write snow-porn. :oD

I'm too worked up to write. I've been mainlining Farscape episodes instead!

[delphia2000]

Oh boy! Moya/DeathStar porn? :o)

Nope! I moved on. I've just been watching the Special Features on the two Stargate movies that someone was kind enough to give me. :-)

Oh, sure, I'm still here. The blizzard doesn't even start for another 3 hours or more!

I've already got my car moved and I'm crockpotting some nice lentil soup. Hatches are battened!

*sobs pitifully* It's 60F/15C in the house, because the power was off from 1:30 to 8:30 this morning. I've managed to get the temp up 5 degrees in the last 2 1/2 hours. Actually it just slipped back a degree! :-( A neighbor just helped me dig a path from my front porch out to the sidewalk. I've never shoveled starting at waist height before. Another neighbor is out there with his snowblower right now tackling the sidewalk - at least I hope he'll get to mine without his snowblower conking out!

It doesn't actually matter, because I'm clearly not going anywhere for a while. My car is buried up to the headlights in front and on the sides. PLUS there's a three foot high snowbank left by the snowplow between the car and the plowed portion of the street. I don't think my car's moving until April.

Oh goodness *hugs* Stay inside! You have enough food, right? Just hibernate! 15C doesn't sound toooo bad - warmer than my house, anyway... No backup gas/electric heaters? *sends hot-water-bottles and blankets and tabby-cats*

Things are a bit better. The house is back to normal temperature and some neighbors helped dig my car out. Only half of my sidewalk got snowblown, though. Maybe my neighbor ran out of gas? But the mailman managed to get to me somehow today, so I think a path has been trodden down around the big drift. Legally I'm responsible for getting the sidewalk cleared, but I can't possibly do it myself, especially after it froze solid overnight.

I refuse to worry about it. The worst thing that can happen is that the city arranges to have it cleared and I have to pay for it. And the city has enough other problems that I don't think they'd get around to me for awhile!
