Blessed by the Potato

After calling for 10-15 cm of snow yesterday, we got a very pretty, wind-free but heavy and steady fall that lasted all night, dropping about 30 inches (75 cm!) in 24 hours. We’re completely snowed in now. I shovelled out the front walkway with my tiny car shovel (a mere 34 inches long), and now I’m beat. I have no idea how I’m going to clear a (longer) path to my car around back. I don’t even think I can open the back door since it doesn’t have an overhang like the front.

It was hilarious when Wayfare decided to try to make a snow angel. She climbed around the side of the porch so there wouldn’t be any footprints leading to it, turned around, and fell into the snow… only to sink in the really deep, light powder so that just a little bit of her face was left showing. She couldn’t get back out without help :)

The heat issue made the news.

And today of all days, with no one at work, hospitals in chaos, and a travelling nightmare… today I manage to lose a filling in my tooth. It’s not hurting at the moment, but I’m a little afraid to eat anything…
