Yeah, it was pretty sticky. The power lines down the Jersey shore look like that, except it's not coming off and threatening to take the wires down. :(
Oh, and they're saying we'll get another foot on Tuesday night. |
Well we didnt get Thah much snow , but enough for my boss to call a snow day
|
No school for the kids, and no work for me today. If they hadn't given me the day off, I would have called in. Shoveling was freaking brutal, and I need a day off after all that.
We ended up hosting one neighborhood family because they had lost power and we still had ours. It was fun, but also a little tiring to play host to them with little notice. We stayed up late with the grownups playing euchre. That was fun. And then another neighbor and I shoveled the driveway of the little old lady behind us. She has a long driveway, and to make it harder, the neighbor next to the old lady asked us nicely not pile pile any snow on their property as we were shoveling. So we had to carry all the snow to the one side and throw it up onto a hill. If you didn't throw it far enough, it would roll back down into the driveway. This neighbor was afraid of huge piles of melting snow flooding their basement. So I see their point, but it sucked. The county did a great job (by our standards down here) clearing the snow. Within 24 hours of the snow ending, you could see the pavement on our little residential street. Much better than in years past, where they never plowed and we just had to wait for it to melt. |
blessings on your head, glatt. Piling jewels up in heaven, you are.
We're supposed to get more snow tuesday with winds up to 35 mph. THAT should be fun. |

Somewhere between 6" and 18" starting tomorrow night, on top of the 20" already on the ground. This is already a record-breaking snow accum. for the Philly area, with over 500% of the normal snowfall totals by this date.

Just got my rental Expedition. It's big and sloppy but it'll do. Jim's gonna go try and find my jeep and get my cd's and crap out of it.
|
Darn, wish I could have been there!
World largest snowball fight! |
Next round commencing. We may be looking at worst case scenario, we get pounded but work/school being North of us stays open... I want a real storm up here!
|
Work is canceled again today, which is always nice, I suppose. But I know this is costing my firm a lot of money to pay all these people to stay home, and I want them to be profitable "in these difficult economic times," so I'm lukewarm about the days off. I bet we won't be back to work until Friday at the soonest.
Round two is coming tonight. We're wondering what we should be doing to prepare for a possible power outage. Decided to do some laundry, charge cell phones, and make sure to take showers today while we can. We have plenty of food. |
Get some firewood, hot chocolate, mini marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers. Have S'mores and hot chocolate by the fireplace, play games and tell stories with your kids.
