... thank goodness the Chief is snowed in with me this time! The mega-meds are doing their work, but I can still feel the tightness and don't want to risk making things worse by trying to help get rid of all this snow. Per one of the local forecasts, we had 19" as of 7 a.m. and it's supposed to keep snowing for at least another 10 hours!
The Chief did roust me outta bed at 6:45 to help him bring the snow blower through the house - the snow was MUCH too deep for him to take it around the side of the house from the back patio. He did a bit of snow removal, came in to get some breakfast, and is back out again now. Took a few more passes along the sidewalks, though he couldn't get as far as he managed last night, and dug a path from his car to the street. He hasn't cleared anything off the car, but once he does, he'll be able to get it out.
We still have power so far, thank God! I guess that's one advantage to the winds - it blows the snow off the power lines and tree limbs so they don't get quite so overloaded. One of our neighbors said they had a holly tree come down. While they were sorry to lose a big, beautiful tree, he said he was grateful it fell into the backyard, not onto the house.
The plows have been through, but only making a single lane. They've been moving at a pretty good clip, too, for the conditions. I imagine they're probably all to painfully aware of just how much of this white stuff they have to move and from how many streets, many of them quite hilly.
At this point I'm assuming I won't be getting to church in the morning and am wondering whether tomorrow's rehearsal will go ahead as scheduled. Sure hope so!!!
