Still Snowed In

The first day it snowed I hooked a ride with a neighbor & went into town on the mainland to do a few errands & see how the roads looked. The neighbor had a 4 wheel drive, so didn't have much of a problem driving the roads, which were packed snow. Even the hills gave him no problem, but even with 4 wheel drive you don't gun it. That's when you get into trouble.

But after they predicted the wind storm, along with more snow, I jumped ship in the afternoon when I still could. David stayed--I think because he's just stubborn. He didn't sleep well because every time the wind gusted dangerously he woke up, but as usual, I slept like a log. Next morning I had to clean off about 6 inches of snow from my car & then I headed home--veeerrry carefully! Saw cars & trucks in ditches all the way home, although the freeway was clear & wet. Even saw a Volvo.

We thought that was the end, but no, last night we got another 4 inches or so. There's no way we can get out, so we asked our 4 wheel drive neighbor to drive up & down our driveway a few times to clear out a path.
