hunkered down

We are having some beautiful weather to celebrate the official First Day of Winter! And here is a synopsis:

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW, SNOW, SNOW (3 inches per hour... that is a LOT of snow, hence the caps lock)
BLOWING AND DRIFTING, BLOWING AND DRIFTING, BLOWING AND DRIFTING, BLOWING AND DRIFTING, BLOWING AND DRIFTING, BLOWING AND DRIFTING.

There is so much snow blowing around and also stuck to our screens that we can't see across the street. Also? No travelling allowed, by order of the County Sheriff.

The best? No SNOWPLOWING allowed.

That's right... the towns have pulled their snowplows off the roads because it's too dangerous to plow the roads.

Happy Winter from all of us here in New York!

  2. lol.. I think if she posted pictures, they'd either look much like that empty comment box down there, or they'd be of the inside of the house!

  4. I swear, as we neared the Batavia exit on I-90 today, I briefly thought, "Oh god.. maybe we should just pull off and foist ourselves upon Pam & Jon." And then I realized that would be insane, especially since we had our dogs with us. A mile later we saw 3 tractor-trailers off the side of the road within a half-mile distance from each other. Amazingly enough, it only took us a little over 3 hours to get home.
