Believe me, if there were some way to redirect it to Maryland, we would! cheesy
I just read a blog by a local meteorologist who says this will be the winter most of us in New England will remember the rest of our lives, in terms of snow and cold. That's kinda scary, considering a few past winters I can remember. This cold and snowy pattern is causing gridlock, hobbling public transportation (the cold and snow are causing equipment breakdowns), and slowing travel by car everywhere because streets are so narrow and the sight lines at intersections are blocked by snow banks. It's been taking me 15 to 20 minutes longer to commute to and from work, on the days I can get there at all. Some days the mail and packages can't be delivered. No joke, there's no place to put all the snow. It's insane. Normally I'd enjoy staying inside and watching a substantial snowfall, but now we have to shovel and get plowed frequently, sometimes twice a day, and keep an eye on the snow load on the roof. Our friend who plows for us has offered to shovel our roof and push snow aside so we can use the snow rake if we have to. (He very kindly assembled our snow rake for us.)
He was by this morning to plow last night's snow. When we paid him we decided to write the check for TWO plows, 'cause he'll certainly have to come by again later tonight. I'm sure we'll see him tomorrow, too.
