They were calling for another 2-6 here yesterday. Thank goodness they were way off! We had a dusting at most.

mrAru and I spent snowmageddon floating around on a cruise ship in the caribbean. I got some sort of special reservo rum that has my name engraved on the bottle and a certificate of authenticity, a blackstrap rum that is amazingly rich tasting, and a bottle each of ponche kuba and ponche carribe. It was warm and sunny there 😃

Of course we did have to transit through a cat 2 hurricane to get there 😃

Thank goodness there wasn’t much snow last night. And the trash finally got picked up yesterday (first time in 16 days!). I wonder when the mail will start being delivered again? You’d think the USPS website would at least mention the fact . . .

And my road hasn’t been plowed at all since before Christmas. If they would even just brine it, I’m sure the daytime temps woudl take care fo the rest, but at this point it’s packed down ice and very treacherous.

Yeah, my trash is piling up too. I am pretty sure that they will pick it up tomorrow, but not 100% sure.

How can you tell? It’s all under snow isn’t it?
