Snow. That’s all that anyone is talking about. We had a blizzard. We got around 30 inches of snow.
The good news is that it was forecast correctly. Starting mid/late Friday morning and snowing until late Saturday.
Friday morning I went to the store. The produce section was barren. There were no eggs. The shelves looked ransacked by crazy people…
The school system decided to open on time, but to close early. The kids came home as the snow fell hard.
It snowed constantly. Friday. Saturday.
We were among the lucky few who did not loose power. Many of our neighbors and friends were without power all weekend. The temps were only in the 20s! I am so grateful!
Sunday true to it’s name= SUN. Digging out began.
The kids have created a constant stream of wet snow clothes to keep the drier and I working overtime!
Rich took the kids on a two mile hike to the middle school for sledding. (Backpack with provisions) They met friends (who were able to drive) and got a lift home–well–to the top of the hill a couple of blocks from home!
On our street…No plow has come by. Still. It’s Monday night! Cars and trucks are getting stuck in front of our house. Rich has helped push many free.
School is closed, but they have only committed to being so thru tomorrow! AND we are forecast for 10-20 MORE inches Tuesday night!
So…
I have been working a 1000 piece puzzle in between meeting all the needs. Food. Clothes. Dishes. Clothes. Shoveling. Clothes.
Do I get paid time and a half for all the overtime?!!
(the pix have letters in front of them because of my sort filter–and I don’t even think it worked!)
