Enjoying this respite from the snow for a few days. The roads around us are still covered. Jim actually got stuck out on Hudson( mailbox side) yesterday and had to be pulled out by some Good Samaritans with a truck and a Chain.
That is one thing about an emergency....it tends to bring out the good in people.
Our neighbors, Jack and Sabrina, have been commiserating with us during the power outage, and once Jack dug his truck out, he picked Jim up and they went shopping together. Jim bought some nice steaks at BJ's and we went over to their house for dinner. I think we all enjoyed the companionship after the ordeal we had gone through, and that was before the next storm.
The second one was scarier due to the high winds and drifting snow, plus we were all on edge fearing for the electric again. We had 9-12 " more show and it was blowing so hard, sideways, that i couldn't see across the street.
Being cold is a real drag. Having no hot water really sucks, especially when you are trying to clean up after meals.
So let me stay warm for a few days and not worry about the storm brewing for Monday!!
