let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

This is my house a few days ago.

Our power has gone out two more times in the past few hours and we are trying desperately to heat it back up. Right now it's 57. Our friend is on his way over with a drywall heater that should heat it up real quick.

I have put my foot down and refuse to leave. Even if we all end up huddling together under a mountain of sleeping bags.

We have had nine inches of snow in the past 90 minutes and it's not letting up. The snow is up to my hipbone.

What happened to Fall?

I am stuck in this surreal half-life.

I hope all returns to normal soon.

What a way to delay the start of the holiday season.

Wish me luck.

That much snow all at once is just unbelievable. I hope your power stays on and the place warms up so you can at least enjoy the weather drama.

Been there. A few years ago we got 4 feet of snow in 24 hours on Halloween! It's not fun, although it IS beautiful. Your house is COLD baby. Hope the heat and power and water are all restored to you soon and you experience the great relief and joy of modern conveniences!

Holy hell! That's an unreasonable amount of snow. And I get cranky when the thermostat dips below 67. Sending you warm vibes.
