Now, this is my kinda weather

It snowed! We actually got more than a dusting. So far about five inches with more on the way, or so they say. But before we get another 4-6 inches we have to go through a period of freezing rain, predicing 1/2 inch of ice. That means no electricity. And, it's cold. But I'm not going to panic until it happens.

Alan has a doctor's appt. this afternoon, one he's had for three months. Should we go or should we be safe and not go. I'm for the "safe" scenario. Alan is opting for the go and pray scenario. However, since we haven't been dug out yet, I don't know. I hear the shovels working nearby, but that's just to dig out the cars, not to clear the streets, which haven't been cleared yet.

That's one advantage to living in a condo complex, we don't have to dig outselves out, as long as we're patient. Our first really big snow storm came and went and we weren't dug out for four days, but I have to say that was a storm in which we had not 1/2 inch of ice, but several inches of ice and they had to use jack hammers to get through the ice. It seems our building is always the last building to be cleared and today is no exception.

What I don't understand is why they're digging us out when it's still coming down at the rate of about one inch per hour. The units they dug out before dawn are already in need of another shovelling.

Stay tuned!
