Snow Update
Craing carpools with me to work, and he tried to get to my house this morning only to find himself mired in a snow bank. He hoofed it the last 100 yards to my house, and worked from my house until around Noonish.
We were walking to his car to see if we could get it out of the snowbank when we came across a guy that was plowing the roadway. I offered him $60 to dig out our drive way, an he gladly took it. Once he plowed his way to our house, he unburied our driveway. That’s a goo thing. It would have taken me days to dig the damn thing out.
We finally got Craing’s car unstuck with the help of another man that had a backhoe on his tractor. If it wasn’t for him, Craing would still be stuck. We finally got Craing’s car down the slope, and in a safer place (after almost getting it stuck a second time.)
There is still one snow bank between us and the main road that hasn’t been cleared just yet. I’m not sure when the road crews will get around to clearing this part of the roadway. I have a party that I’m going to with Fred tonight, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to get out. I hope that I can make it out of here before the end of the day. I’m starting to get some serious cabin fever after spending 2 straight days stuck indoors.
Snowed In
We had a huge blizzard hit our part of the world yesterday. We went to bed Wednesday, and everything looked fine. We got up in the morning to find ourselves snowed in. There really isn’t lots of snow on the ground (for Colorado, anyways), but it’s blowing around so hard that we can’t even see the mailbox at the end of the driveway from our front door. That’s a distance of about 25 yards, so it’s pretty bad.
I was really looking forward to my Thursday night D&D game sine it’s bee a while since I’ve had a chance to get together with my friends and game the night away. Oh well, I’ll have to save up my gamer energy, and use it all on Saturday. I’m not sure what Kolvedic has planned for us for the Saturday game, but I’m really looking forward to it.
My usual day for working from home is Thursday anyways, so it’s not like I took the day off or anything. I still worked the day away.
We didn’t get anymore snow after around 6 PM yesterday, and it started to warm up almost right away. Hopefully the snow starts to melt away because we have almost 2 1/2 feet of the stuff drifted up in front of our garage. I started digging out last night, but I didn’t get very far. I worked on the snow some this morning, and made some good progress. I’m going to see if any of it will melt away before going to shovel some more. I’ll probably head back out around Noonish to see what I can do about the snow.
