It wasn’t too bad. School was canceled on Saturday for today but we had maybe five inches. But about nine inches on the ground already and this is wet and heavy. Freezing temps means ice, ice and ice. They canceled my appointment and rescheduled for Thursday at 3:00. Means I’ll be out in ninety minutes and will hit major traffic. Hopefully I can convince them to take backroads. More scenic and less traffic.
One CNA lives twenty minutes away usually but today she took sixty-five minutes to get here. She said she saw at least thirty cars stranded on the highway route 195 and a dozen on route 88. 88 is a two-lane highway with few turnoffs. If you’re stuck, you’re stuck. Not many houses along there.
My former house in Maine is buried under several feet of snow. The beach in back looks like a skating rink with no sand visible.
On the news is a house in upstate NY with about five feet of ice — not snow — surrounding the house. Other sites have a picture of the house without ice. I can’t fathom what the inside is like if water snuck in. And it’s a vacation home so no one has been sealed inside!
