Well, I would go outside and take pictures of Snow-mageddon, Round 2, but it would just look like last week's pics.
Last week, I shared my desire to be a hermit and a lot of my commenters said they understood my feelings and could be a hermit, too. Funny, how this week, I feel less like wanting to be one ... I guess too much time being home can even affect me.
Still, there is plenty reasons to give thanks.
- First and foremost, our electricity did not go out! What a blessing!
- Secondly, the internet stayed on. It did slow to a crawl but picked up from time to time.
- Third, I was able to get to work enough to get the major things done.
- Fourth, I drove home safely with ice pelting my vehicle like crazy.
- Fifth, HGTV marathons are fun - especially if you have plenty of hot chocolate, coffee and / or hot tea.
By the way, I totally get that the snowfall here is nothing compared to the northern part of the continent. My prayers are with those guys. It's just I'm originally a Southerner and multiple snowfalls are a big deal to me.

That is great about the electricity staying on! A big relief especially in the cold temps!

We had some more "wintry mix" this week but thankfully not as bad as was predicted. I am glad I don't live where there is snow on the ground all winter. :-) One of our major concerns here as well is the possibility of power going off during a storm and we're very thankful ours stayed on despite blinking a few times.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were safe on the roads and were able to get to work enough to get the major things done. The HGTV marathons sound sun!
So sorry this is week 2 of intense snow. I haven't lived in snow for so many years that I've forgotten about the headache of it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had all the basics covered though: tv marathon with plenty of hot drinks, electricity, safety when driving, and even being able to get the necessary minimum done at work.
I hope this week gives you nicer weather.
I totally hear ya that one week being snowbound is plenty!! I, too, am not form the snowbound part of the U.S. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteDo you know, with all the snow we have had here in western NY we have not lost electricity once! Amazing! Great post, thanks for the smiles. Blessings
ReplyDeleteGreat list to remind us that suffering through cold weather could be a lot worse.
ReplyDeleteThe word "snow-mageddon" made me laugh but I can imagine if you are not used to it, even a little can seem overwhelming to deal with! Glad you're electricity didn't go out. That would definitely up the ante of it being hard. You were a brace girl driving in ice pellets. That makes even this hardy snow loving Canadian nervous!
ReplyDeleteWell this is a wonderful fave list and things on it we should never take for granted! glad you made it home safely. Here in eastern NY today it is SUNNY and warmer...a whopping 35 degrees and the snow is slowly dripping away....YAY!
ReplyDeleteBeing snowbound sounds great if your fives are part of them ;-) Not having electricity would take a bit more creativity.
ReplyDeleteShould I tell you that it's been in the 80s here this week?
My week went well. Just the typical struggles of a working mom. Loving the spring-like weather!
