RTBTCKI The Snow Fatigue Edition
Feb. 6th, 2014 09:09 amAs in I have some serious snow fatigue. I had to shovel 4 times yesterday due to snow/slush and independent plow contractors who thought it was a good idea to deposit large amounts of slush into my driveway since it was clear. I was a good citizen and had gone out and shoveled so that the melting snow could continue to the storm drain half way down the block. My reward was even heavier dirty slushy snow being pushed into the areas that I had so carefully cleared by hand. It was not being done by the village plows but by some local contracted plows that broke a number of traffic laws along with depositing slush and debris into people’s driveways. So this morning rather than the clear end of the drive that I did have, I have a frozen puddle of slush. Not a happy villager right now.
Caroline had another day home from school yesterday. The road conditions were such that it was hazardous for vehicles on the road before sunrise when the high school kids are picked up. It was originally a two hour delay but it went to no school by the morning. So she worked on her flute and her science fair project along with playing. Peter’s bowling league did meet and he did pretty well. Coming back was more of an adventure than going since things were juuuust starting to freeze at that point.
Today I need to venture out today to take care of some errands that didn’t happen the past couple of days due to the weather. The roads are pretty much passable as long as one watching out for black ice, which is all over the place. Getting Caroline to the bus stop is going to be interesting.
Farpoint is going to depend entirely on the weather. If it looks like we can get down there and back safely with no delay then we will venture it. If we have another storm or the threat of a storm, then we are going to have to play it by ear. So we hope to be there but it will depend on Mother Nature.
I have gotten a lot done this morning but then I woke up at 5:00 am and couldn’t go back to sleep so I got up and got busy with various tasks that needed to be done around the house including the cat boxes on the off chance we have garbage pick up today. In recycling, this was the third time that they haven’t picked up paper. I have a lot of paper stacked up. I have to figure out where it is going to go for another two weeks and maybe then I can recycle. Either that or it is going to be spring before I can get rid of this paper.
Caroline has taken to watching Opposite Worlds and enjoying it. She is cheering on team Epoch since they have been stuck in the past for three challenges. Team Chronos hasn’t done much to endear themselves in her eyes. She is also loving FaceOff this season. I noticed that the challenges are getting harder as the seasons go on. Caroline loved the Dragon Challenge.
I am grateful for snow removal done correctly.
