Snowed In
February 25, 2010 - 11:10 am EST
Well, yesterday was an adventure. I was snowed in and unable to leave for work, and we were without power all day until 1am today. Today I tried to make the trek out to work, but made it to the end of my driveway and met with several inches of slush. My driveway was more clear than the road, which means that the roads hadn’t been plowed since before around 11am yesterday.
I am so greatful for having electricity, and lighting!
I think we got about 8 inches of dense wet snow. It seemed to snow for at least 24 hours yesterday, with a bit of rain thrown in here and there. Corey said that according to the radio 20,000 people were without power last night.
I am reminded of a similar storm that we had last year. It was about as bad, but without the ice and it hit a much smaller area. I suppose it was our karma because we managed to avoid a large portion of the storms that hit the east coast this month. We’re lucky to have a gas kitchen stove, wood burning stove for heat, candles, and a regular landline phone. However, I learned that one thing we don’t have is a battery powered radio!
