Crystalline mayhem

[greatbear]

Well, the snow has been falling since about 8pm, the wood stove is packed for the night, the house is toasty warm, generators on standby if needed, plenty of food is in in the house, two dogs are with me in bed with one snoring under the covers. The house is nearly silent, the only sound other than breathing pups is the tiny fan in the laptop. It is practically the pure essence of comfy cozy warm fuzzies. But what is wrong with this idyllic scene? There is no Jeff. Sadly, he took off right as the storm arrived to stay in a hotel close to the hospital where he works in order to be there in the morning. He's considered essential personnel, so he gets no snow days. While I am not exactly thrilled by this situation as I'd rather have him home and part of this cozy mayhem, he is safe where he is, does not have to drive to get to work, and has everything he needs close by. He will likely stay until Friday and return after work if all goes well.

Tomorrow, after the snow finally settles down, I will attack the walkways and driveways with the snowblower, which I gassed up and got ready earlier today. I will then send By-Tor and the Snow Dog out into the fluffy stuff, where they will undoubtedly have a blast like they did in the last snowfall. I'm hoping Jeff doesn't have a lot going on the next couple days and he can come home Friday and have a relaxing weekend.

The joys of proper preparation and planning! (Say that three times real fast!! :) It sounds like you've got everything under control. I suppose you could have stayed with Jeff in the hotel, but the dogs and the house beckon, too. I'm glad you're safe and comfy at home and don't have to be commuting in the storm!

Sorry you and Jeff are apart, but sounds like you've otherwise got everything under control.

I'm sorry Jeff has to be away from home, but I know you and you are plenty prepared for weather like this.

I'm getting ready to go out and shovel soon, myself- we have at least 10- 12" of snow here.

Stay warm! Watch out for the ice. You need not be falling on your dupa, ya know.
