Tired of it now
Day two of being snowed in. I'd been hoping it was warm enough this afternoon to melt things down a little bit, but it only got up to 33 for an hour or so, which wasn't nearly enough to melt the foot or so that's still in the driveway. I'm guessing the same thing's going to happen tomorrow, and we're expecting a little more on top overnight.
The annoying bit is that the bottom half of the street has been sort of plowed and sanded and is driveable--enough so that we got FedEx and UPS deliveries today. It's just us four houses at the top of the hill (the dead-end street part) who are screwed. I can see driveable road from my front porch. I just can't get there.
At least we're not as bad as Gresham, which apparently had to call out the National Guard so emergency services could get where they needed to go. My in-laws aren't that far from there, too, so I'm really, really thinking it would be very stupid for us to attempt to drive down there tomorrow or even Thursday.
I'm seriously considering making a Safeway.com order and seeing if they'll actually deliver here. It doesn't get me the meds I need, which have been waiting at the pharmacy for the last three days, but it'd help restock the fridge, which is starting to get scarily low on some items. Not that we're in danger of starving, mind. We're just short on a few staples like bread and juice.
At least the power's been on, more or less, so far (knock on wood.) And we have the ability to work around that somewhat, if needed. I'm just getting a smidgy bit of cabin fever.
