Digging Out

I guess in the morning I will go and dig out The Hereafter. No good reason to do it, except it will make me feel like I'm doing something.

I look out on the street that hasn't changed since I saw it first thing this morning. No plows...nothing has come by. There are stories of communities who have dug themselves out, and I begin to think that if any of us want to get back to work any time soon someone had better start shoveling.

Second thing tomorrow.

First, I have to call in.

On top of the....?

I've been staring at a big mound of snow from my window all day. It caught my attention because it's where Meander and I usually play.... a flat piece of park. We went out and ventured over. Well.

Work could be a few days way.






If you notice, those people are walking at the same height as the snow fence. The snow bank goes all the way across the street. And... well,

If you walked up on it, there would be a car...






And then you look behind the car and realize.... Reva is standing on top of yet, another one.

Whoa....

From a friend's walk to the store.... Thanks, B.

Lakeshore Drive

There are still over 300 cars on the drive, windshield wipers up to show that they have been checked and are empty.

John Williams just talked to a woman stuck on I-47, south of I-90 with four dogs in her car. She is within a contingent of 40 cars that aren't going anywhere. While they were talking someone came up to give her water. She asked them when the plows were coming, and was told they weren't . They were stuck as well. She asked them what she should do, since she lived 7 miles away and was thinking of getting out and walking. She had half a tank of gas.

The men had walked from another road, quite some distance away. She asked if she and her dogs walked to that road, if they would take her home. They said yes, and she said goodbye to John, got out of her car and left it.

Update when it comes in.

The Hereafter is Stuck

It occurs to me that I can dig myself out, but I won't be able to get down the street. God knows when they will finally be able to plow the side streets....

.............

A friend just walked to the store and saw a city snow plow. He asked when the side streets would be plowed and they answered, maybe next week. Looks like I'll be taking some vacation days.

Not a good thing.
