Power just came back on (10:15 a.m. -- I think it's been out since around 8 a.m.), so at least I can check in here.

And, yes, it's STILL snowing. I know we've got at least 6 inches, but it hasn't slowed down at all.

Shovelled off the deck and steps in front of me on my way up the driveway to the car at around 8 this morning. My plow guy hadn't yet plowed the swath between my front bumper and the road -- through what the town plow pushed up. So I ran the car and removed the snow and scraped the underlayer of ice on windshield and all windows. Then went back down to the house and brought in a load of wood on the way. Made a couple phone calls -- left a message with my boss, no, I won't be to work today. Called my co-worker who was taking the day off and talked to her partner. Should try to reach my boss and actually get to talk to him.

Undressed the Christmas tree & got it out of the house, folded the plaid tablecloths doubling as a tree skirt and decorating the living room. Took down the rest of the cards around the cellar door. Went through some more stuff on the table.

Right now I'm sleepy enough to take a nap, but first will call my boss and Tom.
