winter wonderland

Winter wonderland isn't so fucking wonderful anymore. We didn't get anymore snow Monday night/Tuesday morning but it was what we didn't get -- electricity. The power went out sometime early Tuesday morning. It didn't come back until almost noon today. A day and a half without computers or heat. It got cold inside. We have a propane fireplace for heat when the power goes out but I should have checked the propane levels a few days ago when Zoe asked me to. The propane ran out the same time the power did. It has been fun watching people trying to drive up the hill outside our house. The snowplow did show up for the first time yesterday plowing and sanding, but it is icy out there. There have been flurries of new snow. There is supposed to be more snow then it's supposed to rain later tonight, hopefully. We aren't driving anywhere on these roads. Fortunately, there hasn't been any reason to go out.
