Snowed in!

[bladespark]

Well, not really, but it's looking like if the weather forecast is right there will be snow and ice on the ground for the rest of the week. There are no snowplows here, the roads are simply compacting into solid, slippery, very unsafe ice. They've cindered them, but that only helps so much, unfortunately, and I have a phobia about cars that frankly is escalated into sheer heart-pounding terror by this ice sending cars sliding around. I don't want to be out on the roads even as a passenger until the snow is all gone.

So this is a small head's up that between the snow and Christmas and such I'm not really sure when I'll next be able to mail out stuff. I've send off everything that's critical right now, but my next mail out may not be until after the holidays are over.

really they don't plow out there? It's snowing her in Utah, but you know how that is XP

Well, it's not that they don't plow, it's that there ARE no plows to plow with. They'd have to somehow truck plows in from the mountains, except it's snowing even more there, so there are none to spare. Snow here is very rare, and snow that doesn't instantly melt is a once in a lifetime thing.

wow, scary. so does the whole town just shut down then?

More or less. Except that everybody mobs Costco and the grocery stores buying food so they won't starve to death if the next snow is a blizzard.

That's the nutty thing, there's more snow forecast.

Yeah we have the same problem. They sold nearly all our snow removal equipment up north to Campbell River. And then they promptly had record snowfall for this region the following winter! *LOL* This place totally shuts down too. At least until they eventually get out with the sand trucks.
