Back yard, this morning.

I attempted to go out today, to get to a dr. appointment and pick up a prescription. I never got out of the driveway. This despite being in my RAV4, with relatively high clearance and AWD. The tires got dug in and that was it. One of our neighbors came over with a snow shovel and got me out just long enough to pull back into the driveway somewhat so my ass wasn't hanging out into the street.

I'm kind of frustrated, actually. It's one thing to be stuck at home because you think it's unwise to go out and risk it. It's quite another to be stuck at home because you can't even get down the street.

The other frustrating bit is that we had originally intended to head down to PDX to play Santa for M's family. Unless some major meltage (and non-refreezing) happens by Wednesday, that's out of the question.

Weather report has it warming up just a little above freezing this afternoon and same tomorrow, but it's also supposed to add some more snow tonight and tomorrow night, too. Wednesday it's supposed to warm up just enough to rain, so maybe the snow will wash away somewhat.
