Didn't lose power (yay). DID get about 27 inches of snow - and most of it fell between 11pm Friday night and 11am Saturday morning. Breaking out of the house was fun on Saturday, and I got the drive shoveled (I am one of the last remaining person-powered snow removal device users left in the neighborhood). Took two hours, and that was having parked the car down the drive just out of reach of the kick-up from the plowing.
So Saturday was a complete loss - there was a travel ban on until 4pm and nothing was open ANYWHERE. I think it was noon before I saw a car actually traveling down the road, not just pulling out to shift the snow from around the parking spot. But man, any vehicle they could slap a plow to the front of got one. For thirty-six hours the plows were working pretty much non-stop and they did a phenomenal job 9yes, even though the plow crust across the head of the drive was waist-high and packed three feet wide.
Went to my folks' for lunch today. Mom and I washed the (stinky) dog. He doesn't quite know what to do with snow that is almost taller than him. He can stand and rest his chin on it - which makes it a little bit of a daunting prospect for him to forge through it. He can, because he is a 70-plus pound lab. But it is still daunting.
Dad went off to watch the girls swim at their meet today. I guess they both did all right.
