    15 inches of Snow And No Food In The House

    The weather man predicted heavy snow last night & I ignored the
    warning & did'nt run out for groceries. They predict tons on snow all
    the time & then it doesn't happen. But this time, it did.

    I dug out my driveway & got the car maybe 15 ft before I got stuck.
    With the help of two kind neighbors who helped push & shovel , I made
    it to the store & back home.Thank heavens for good neighbors.

    This sounds bad- but I hope you have now enough stuff (like canned beans etc) that helps you at least to survive.
    Did you buy cat food? I hope so

    Liz, I'm glad you managed to get to the store and back - hope you stocked up! Whatever bad weather we have here, I'll always be able to walk to a supermarket. I could not do without milk.

    I know how you feel, lol. We got a ton of snow here (for us anyway), and I had no cash to go food shopping. SO.... toasted cheese and tomato soup is the menu for the day, lol.

    Well, I did have 1/2 loaf of bread & jar of peanut butter.

    Yes, I did stock up on cat food & had to settle for a different kind of
    dog chow. The pups liked it, so I guess it wasn't to bad.I stocked up
    on everything , so I'm good now.

    My grocery was not that far, but I could never carry all the stuff home.
    The snow is up to my knees.

    Wow!! We only got around 2 inches last night but it sure did add up to what's already on the ground.

    Lots and lots of snow here in Ohio. Had to go to work today, when you work for a Dr there is no such thing as not going in because of bad weather. Same goes for all the brave firefighters and police plus scores of others.

    Glad you made it out and back safely. We had snow that turned from powder to sugar snow to ice then to rain - so storm drains are blocked with the ice, and streets all over the city are flooded. I my CRV - extra ground clearance is a GOOD thing.

    I feel for ya. I knew the storm was coming so I stocked up on groceries yesterday. We got a ton of snow and I'm hoping my plow guy is going to show or I won't be able to get out tomorrow. It's times like this that I'm glad my office is in home.
    Blessings,

    Really? I thought the storm moved East & North of Indiana. 2 inches
    of snow is more my speed.


    Karen, ground clearance is a VERY good thing.

    We got lots of snow last snow, today too but not 15 inches. The neighbor cleaned out the drive with his snow blower (Carl leaves at 5:00 in the morning and doesn't do much cleaning out of snow before he goes.) I was surprised at how bad the city streets were - at least the Main Street of town which it seems should have been one of the first cleared. I made it to work (thank God I have an SUV) but the parking lot never got plowed nor either of the two streets the church sits between. I left about 1:00 because I really did not want to get snowed in there by myself. Of course, after I got home, the snow stopped and the crews had gotten Main St. cleaned up quite a bit. But that's okay I just got more dog and grandkid time!

    We had 14 feet of sunshine today!

    I always make sure I have at least a Cup of Soup for emergencies.

    OR frozen Mac and Cheese....GAK!

    Ugh we got about four inches of snow and then ice and then rain and then the rain froze so everything is coated in ice.But it's actually quite warm and sunny today so hopefully that gets rid of most of the ice at least.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Oh hush about your danged sunshine.

    I had enough food for me to last a few days, but had zero dog chow
    and 1 single can of cat food. My critters would have me killed,
    skinned & eaten the same day..
