From what you said to me and what I read in your blog, sounds like no fun to me! All that shoveling, and I always manage to fall, somehow. You may remember that I grew up in Ohio, in the country after I was 9. We would have snow drifts 20-25 feet high, wind chill's as low as what you said they were there, and, living in big rolling hills, no one could drive anywhere, no matter what you drove. We even had a Suburban with a big 'ole snow plow on the front of it. We could take care of the cement (front) part of our driveway, but the gravel was a lot harder to plow. It was fun to go out and plow other people's driveways and 'rescue' smaller cars that were stuck. Enough about me, anyway, do you get a lot of snow days at your daughter's school when it snows like this? Is work pretty understanding when you can't get there or are late because of the weather? Snerd (my husband) has had some jobs where they don't care if there is an earthquake, you crawl there if you have to. How is work going? I know I keep asking. I guess things might not move very fast sometimes in professions like you are in? (I'm talking about the promotion) I hope you and your kids (wifey too) get to enjoy some time in that snow. Amy is just begging for it to snow here, she even wrote a letter to santa saying that she didn't want anything else except for it to snow! Precious. *laughing* Take care.

Introduction Malexander

Tena,
Looks like you'll be getting worse weather than I did here. Our storm is over and while there is a lot of snow everywhere, the streets and sidewalks are now clear. You'll have to keep us updated on how much snow you do get and how bad it affects you.

Dawn,
I have a coworker is a part time farmer and she lives in the country and from her stories I know exactly what you're talking about. As for getting out of work, it is almost impossible. While they are understanding about people getting in later than usual, or not at all, a lot of us have the ability to work from home, including myself. So getting out of work is really not an option. In the 5 years that I have been working here, I haven't seen my company close for any weather related incidents. As for the promotion bit, I won't know until March or April, but I'll keep everyone posted. I try not to think about it too much because I don't want to be disappointed if I don't get it this year. My daughter went sledding outside today so she's already taken full advantage of the snow we got.

Well, they are predicting that this storm will be bigger than the Blizzard of 78, which was the biggest in history since they started recording such things. They are predicting 28" before it is all over in Boston. The suburbs usually get more than the City.

My son just left to try to go to work. I cleared the driveway for him to leave and the snow is deeper than my snowblower. I don't have a small whimpy snowblower either. It is a pretty good sized one. The good news is that the snow is light and fluffy because it is so cold out so it isn't hard to move it. However, it is still snowing. In the time it took me to clear my driveway another inch fell!

How about some RPG hints?

Congratulations for the fifth time in a row, and keep the hard work. Wow, if it was not for the money you've earned from that, you would probably still have been in negative, remember?
