HUGE snowstorm

[judy]

I'm not liking this anymore! I am trapped in my house because of the snow! The guys couldn't get here to plow or dig our paths today, and it snowed a lot! My friend who lives up top in the condo, didn't feel well this morning, chest pains, and so on, and called 911. She is fine, but they had to get a hold of Terry somehow to plow the 5 foot snowdrift blocking the entrance road, and then they had to dig a path to her doorstep. The whole thing took about an hour! Thank goodness it wasn't a heart attack! She knew she was okay within about 20 minutes of calling them, but she let them dig her out and the EMT's checked her out. Poor Roxanne!

When I woke up this morning and saw how much snow had accumulated, I didn't like the feeling of not being able to get out, but I figured if anything happened, I would call 911. If there was a fire, I figured I would grab the dogs and be pretty safe in the snow. When Roxy told me what happened to her, I really felt claustrophobic!

No kidding - this is scary and creepy. I have never been closed in like this. My steps are covered with snow, as is my path, and the snow is so deep! Even if I did make it up to the road, my car is buried. Even if I dug it out, the roads are covered! I guess I could just walk through the snow. I am perfecty okay, and have decided not to make myself crazy since nothing has happened, but it is really creepy! I don't want to be really freaked out! My entire county is buried in snow.

At least I have electricity. A lot of people don't have any! We have our own generator here, and I have food and it's warm.

I can't wait until tomorrow when, hopefully, they will plow and dig me out. Cars weren't allowed to even use the roads today. They were closed to all but emergency vehicles, and it was still snowing last time I looked.

I took some more pictures.

#1 and 2 are of the deck yesterday. #'s 3 and 4 are of the deck today. I'd say it's about 4 feet of snow on the deck by now.
