Snow Woes...

02/06/2010

Snow has been falling here since about 10am yesterday.  I have a yardstick planted in the snow just outside a window off our sun-porch/dining area (for want of a better description), and it measures 24” at this moment.  The forecast is for the snow to continue to somewhere between 8pm and 10pm and perhaps accumulate another 8” to 10” before ending tonight.

In case you don’t recall or are new to this blog, our home, aka The Farm, is located just about a half-mile off the paved road up a gravel drive.  Two feet of snow makes it a little inconvenient to attempt to get to the main road.  Bottom line, we are stuck here at the mercy of the elements, and we kind of like it that way.

The older part of this house was built in 1912.  Back then the farmer who owned this place did not have a snow blower or a snow plow.  The non-farmer who now owns this place also does not own either a snow blower or a snow plow.  We will have to rough it out until the crap melts or we shell out another $100.00 to get it plowed.  For the next couple of days I will keep a tight fist on my wallet and enjoy being stranded – just me, The Nancy, our kitty cat and a fridge full of beer in the basement. 

And that is all I have to say about that…
