It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas......




We have been hit with a lot of snow and very cold temperatures this week. We barely managed to get Mark home from the airport on Wednesday. We got almost home before we got stuck in the snow and just could not get up the last hill. So, at midnight, we got out of the car and trekked the last three-quarters of mile to our house. The next day we retrieved our car with the help of a good Samaratin. Today, two days later, we had to chain up the car, so Mark could get to an appointment he had to make.
Because there is so much snow everywhere, we noticed that some racoons living under our deck. We only found this out, because we saw their tracks in the snow.
More snow and wind is expected tomorrow, so we are hunkering in for the next few days. John has lots of wood ready for the fireplace. We are planning on a power outage - that seems to be standard when winter wind storms hit.
It is time to get a pot of soup made.
More updates as they happen...
