FIVE FEET OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. God, I am sick of snow. I spent christmas eve and christmas day shoveling snow off of roofs and removing trees and dead power lines from the county road. Every muscle in my body hurts. Power has been out since last sunday morning (barring a few hours monday evening when it was on briefly) and who knows when it'll be back on since it's down in multiple places over several miles. Today was the first time all week that they bothered to send the grader up to dig out the road, and he only bothered to make it one lane wide with berms on each side so high that you can't pull over if someone is coming the other way. One of you has to back up until you find someone's driveway that's been cleared (and houses are a half mile apart or farther.)

Merry fucking christmas. I want a bath.

Damn... :Q

Do you have a generator?

Yeah. We have some lights, can watch tv, keep the heat tapes on the pipes going, run the fridge and freezer, and run the well pumps so we have running water and can flush the toilets. But it's not big enough to run anything that requires 220, so no hot water or stove/oven. Luckily, we have a wood stove, so we have heat and something to cook on.

Nice 🙂 Doesn't sound like you're *too* bad off.

I would consider it an adventure! 😀

A day or two is an adventure. A week is just absurd.

Thankfully it's starting to clear up (at least down here in the valley), I ventured outside today for food. Yesterday I spent home alone surfing AT and watching streaming Netflix. My parents live at ~730 feet in Forest Grove & there's no way in hell my car would have made it there. I'm really wishing I hadn't sold my jeep this summer, it would have been very handy to have 4WD and studs as an alternative to the Mustang.
