Thunder snow????


My Mom lost power about 2 hours ago, she was pretty impressed that it only took them about an hour & a half to get power back. Va power sent out 5 trucks.

The BF didn't listen to me & leave work early today - kept telling me that the snow wasn't sticking in Columbia... I was doing the... erm, well, it's sticking in Frederick & your Passat sucks in the snow... So guess what happens when he gets about 1 mile to my house?

He couldn't get his car started again, so I drove over to help him - efforts to try to pry his hood open with a piece of rebar just bent the rebar. He had some webbing in his car, so we just tied it to the hitch of my subaru and first pulled it across the intersection into a parking lot, but then decided that worked well enough that we just went ahead and pulled it all the way to my house. GEICO is supposedly sending out a tow truck to get it tomorrow.

Some couple in a pickup truck stopped to offer to tow it across the street to the parking lot for $20 when we were still attempting to see if we could push it (not enough traction). It was a little bizarre. Not that we wouldn't have offered them money if they'd volunteered to do it. I'm just not used to people stopping and offering to help only if you pay them.

Gonna go out and play with the cross country skis now, I think.
