Woke up to at least 16" of snow, drifting to twice that, and its still snowing.
Expecting another 12" or more thru tonite. Forecast is for up to 30" by Sun a.m.
Our 12" Beagle loves snow, but tried to leap into it in the back yard this a.m. and was in, over her head. She didn't know what to do, never has seen this much snow in he life. We live in a 1902 row home that has 5 steps up to the front door threshold, Winds drifiting the snow has piled it up, even with the 4th step, can't see any depression where the sidewalk shoud be. Some drifts outside the window are over waist high. We're just not used to this. I'm truly upset over the anxiety of trying to dig out (I'm waiting til tomorrow) . My PN & emphysema won't let me do much. I may not be able to do it -and hope that others will stop by to help, but that may just be nothing more than hope. My wife is 7 yrs younger than I & can do some, but she's not all that strong. We'll just have to wait & see how effective the city snow removal/plowing will be - but they hardly ever get to my street when its just a 1-2 inch snow. We may be stuck- except that - if necessary, the hospital will send a 4 wheel drive (hopefully not til tomorrow) for my wife- to get her to work, & once she's there, she's at the mercy of the gods as to when she gets home - sometimes not for 1-2 days..... or more.
