A Funny

Heard this was old but it was new to me.  If you've not seen it, I hope this makes you smile.

Digging Out

Had to dig out my car so I could work last night.  When I got stuck and opened the driver's door, the snow was level with the bottom of that same driver's door. 

I realized this morning how very lucky I am to have had power this whole storm.  I couldn't go down a street without seeing workers fixing lines and lines that were down that they had yet to fix.  Lots of chainsaw noises echoing through the frozen fog we were gifted with this morning.  Not sure what my roof will look like once the snow has melted but at least it's still up there.  I lost some very small branches.  My parent's Live Oak tree did not fare so well.  I counted five big branches snapped but still hanging.  They are out of town and don't know that yet, though.  It's sad because that tree was the only privacy they had in their backyard from the monstrosities some call houses that were built 3 feet behind their back fence. 

How come all the really good support bras makes me look like a throw back from the 50's?  You know... all pointy.  Okay, maybe I need to redefine "really good".  Did I spend more than 25 dollars on it?  No.  But it wasn't one of those 10 dollar no name disasters either.  Then again, could be I'm just used to the worn out saggy things I've been wearing for too long now. I bet you're glad I started blogging again.

Snowed In

A foot of snow. At least that's what the official reading is here. More in some areas. I might have once told you that it doesn't snow here like it once did. THIS is how it used to snow. Breaking branches, downed power lines... or some kind of line. The view is indescribable. It's beautiful.

I ventured out this morning and the snow was almost to the bottom of my knees. Sitting here looking outside, the urge to go out and play in it is almost too much to resist.

I am watching the snow fall from the power lines now and I'm thankful that my house is sturdy enough to support the amount of snow that is on my roof right now. I'm wondering if it will slide off in a big avalanche or if it will just melt off. I'm also thankful that my electricity has not gone off. There is some downed line by my house but I'm not sure what it is because my internet and lights are all still on.

Here's some photos of the last 24 hours:
