It takes a lot to shut life down around here. We don't fold 'em for subzero, we don't quit over snow that comes half-way to our knees. We just suit up and get out there and push the car out of the drift and live life on schedule.
Today, however we have enough "lot" to shut every school and many businesses. There's a foot of snow out there blasting horizontally and tiny flakes still falling vertically. Usually young men with shovels are expected to dig us out of snowstorms, but today I'm waiting to hear back from the man with the plow. He's a busy man, though and it might take until tonight or even tomorrow before he can catch up with calls.
I just hope he gets to it before we run out of groceries. Those young men have a hungry look about them this morning.
