Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

[pomtzu]

Woo Hoo We are getting Snow here in Tx today.. It is to last until Friday Morning.. We are to get 6 to 8 or 9 inchss.. It will for sure all be Ice in the morning after it freezes the roads tonight.. Company noted us to come into work late tomorrow..

Have fun. Just keep it down there please - we have more than enough. We're still in a state of emergency, so everybody is home - again. I didn't realize just how much I liked having the house to myself - until everybody is forced to stay home from work and school, and off the roads. School has been closed all week - the kids don't go back now till Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday. My grandson is bored to tears and driving us crazy - or more crazy than usual - just a typical 13 yr old I suppose........

Many stores are voluntarily closing for fear of roof collapse, even before the state of emergency. There have been several such incidents at schools and a fire station. The flat roofs just can't take the weight of the snow and ice, and don't drain off like a pitched roof. This has been a winter that won't be forgotten around here for a very long time!

I shoveled a path to the mailbox. Our mail person said that as long as she can walk to the box, she will deliver. Also, that light pole is 5 feet tall on top of a 1 foot raised planter box.

Anybody know a good chiropractor? LOL

Please heed what Phred said about grilling or trying to cook inside ANY structure when unable to use "regular" stoves. ALSO... try to find (as we did through 5 ft drifts) your nearest fire hydrents ("drents? drants?) you know... clear them out and dig a path to the street. That is more important than a driveway if you ask me. Thankfully we don't have to clear a path outside for doggy biz. The big ones have made lovely maze type paths throughout the yard and the smaller ones love to follow. On one silly note, this is the first time I've ever known cats (the two younger rescues at least) to LOVE playing in the snow. It's the silliest, most absurd thing I've ever seen) We only lost elec for several hours this a.m. and still have plenty of firewood. It's a chore for sure to uncover the huge wood pile and trudge back with armfulls of logs. I can build a fire and stoke it but I have to draw the line at carrying armfulls at a time. Too old, too sore and too damned tired
