Jonas: January 2016 Blizzard ...

Jonas: January 2016 Blizzard ... 22+ inches of snow totally jacked up my weekend world. The aftermath is going to have a somewhat of an impact for weeks to come. Lots of trees in my yard with huge branches that flow into the power lines at times. Losing power is always a concern. The last time this happened - out for a week. After day 3 and 55 in the house - dirty - no real food - almost numb - LOL - I broke and agree to go to a hotel with our doggie. It was awesome to eat real food again (extended stay's rock out) and be clean. 10 days later, power was finally restored. Anywho, hitting Walmart for snow shovels on Friday and flashlites, stocking up on essentials. I learned that while I can put batteries in a vibe in the dark with my eyes closed - LOL - flashlite batteries give me issues with my eyes open and power ... too funny!  My hubby was orginally supposed to be away for the nite, but he came home to be with me, which make me very happy. I don't have many fears - being trapped at home by myself with no power and unable to "escape" makes me very uneasy. Saturday we hung out, watched the snow fall, dinner all the normal stuff. I built some, Netflix and did some coloring. Wrote some too. By 9:30 pm, when my doggie had to go out, I tried to open the back screen door and the snow poured onto the kitchen floor. Had to go out the front and walk round and shovel a path from the door and the steps. She had a hard time getting round in the snow - we lost track of her. Finally, she made her way back to the back door, absolutely covered in snow from rolling round in it. Sunday morning when I woke up, the snow had stopped - no power loss - YAY! It was a pretty winter wonderland out!!! Tho, when it was time to dig out and walk thru the snow, this was not so pleasant. Not at all. The snow was past my knees - LOL - I could barely move. Plus, I am like a walking klutz on wheels. My hubby called me a "hog on ice" - too funny!!! Living on a snow emergency street has it's advantages - one of the first streets for the snow plow. However, the down side is that the snow gets thrown rite onto the edge of our drive, making it twice as much to be shoveled. By the time we were able to get the cars out safely it was almost 4 hours. We won't be seeing our lawn or yard for quite awhile, nor half of our mailbox. We can barely get out the back door - the deck is a vision of white. As, is everything else. And, I won't be getting into the garage any time soon either. During the day, it melts some, then refreezes overnite. The morning and nite rush hour can be somewhat dangerous. Born and raised in Philly and I have never seen it this bad before. Mother Nature was pissed - probably some dude - LOL - too funny! Tho, I suspected something like this was going to happen. On X-Mas, it was close to 70 degrees. Crazy stuff!! I am just thankful that we didn't lose power and that no damage occurred. Oh - rite - that I didn't have to pack us up for a hotel. That totally fucking sucked big time ... not in a good way ... Things are slowing getting back to normal. Of course, normal being a relative term ... Hope all were safe during the storm!   In Luv, Lite, Laffter ... |

After hurricane sandy, I am prepared for Armageddon. Bought an ariens snow blower that blows snow about 50 feet.(had so much fun with it this time), Have a quiet generator, a freezer, rechargeable led lights, Breville fast slow cooker(check it out, it is awesome). A neighbor had some New Yorkers as guests. They visitors mistook a neighbors Briard for a Black Bear and my German Shepherd for a timber wolf. The hosts didn't correct them.  My dog is the only one happy about snow on the ground now."Rules for happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.”― Immanuel Kant .
