My cousin said to me - now I see why you were doing so much shoveling! I told her it's like my own version of a Kong. Hide some treasure to encourage the shoveling. :)Quote:

Actually, neither did I; wasn't easy getting up!Quote:

I will not be buying any lottery tickets with them. :) They need to try and get to one of our sibs houses who still have power. UGH.
My niece here lost power earlier, she told me she was reading a book by her bike LED light. :)
There's already a wiki on this storm:

My power went out for a couple hours this morning, but that was it. I heard from 7rider this morning - she wasn't going to whitetail (or anywhere) and her power had gone out at 6 am and still wasn't back on. Hopefully she's got power again, but she hasn't posted since.
My nice neighbor nextdoor with a snowblower did the sidewalk in front of my house & in front of my car, so I couldn't very well sit inside and be lazy during - so shovelled the walkway from my front door & along side the car.
Then we went out with cross country skis and got quite a workout (definitely not a good idea to fall over, cause even with poles it's hard to get back up) and came back and finished digging the cars out even though the road isn't plowed.
My mom was without power from about midnight until around 4 this afternoon.
WE had power bumps Friday night at the Emergency Center but kept power. I fell in a snow bank walking home from work on Saturday. We've been bundled up till my son shoveled out the car. Good times!!!
I think the folks in Monty county had it the worst---all those power outages!!! And the roof collapses...
Fingers crossed that OPM shuts us down tomorrow. There is no way we could get our cars out---no plow has been through yet and the county anticipates not hitting the neighborhoods until 48 hours after the snow stops (tomorrow pm).
On our slog/walk through the neighborhood yesterday, we saw a neighbor with a snowblower who had cleared off his entire cul de sac! Of course, the road to which it connects was impassible, despite the plow having gone through earlier (that one is a secondary road).
DH just went out on foot to get the NYT and the Post, since there is no way the paper delivery guys will make it. Hopefully, the Safeway will be open.

That's on the patio table.
One of the missing ferals has shown up for food, the sturdy one; the other was the very skinny, very decrepit cat. These two are always together, and to have one show up without the other... :(
The rest of my blizzard photos are here.
