The impact?
More shoveling
The kids started enthusiastically,.....
But eventually got lured by the newfound ease of climbing the suddenly shorter trees...
Leaving Logan bearing the brunt!
Shrinking Roads & Buried Cars
While you could hardly call our street a 2 lane road before - now it is once again down to a single track. And the streets that were validly 2-3 lanes are all down to 1...
The buried cars are everywhere
(the 2 cars on the right are parked in what is normally the middle of this 4-lane road!)
A hidden car in front of our neighbor's house....
In Chicago, I recall them towing cars just down the street to make it possible to plow. We miss you Streets & Sanitation!
Chicken Thighs or Bacon
We stopped at our neighborhood grocery store to re-load our dwindling provisions. Clearly their trucks have had trouble getting there too. The normally vast meat counter was down to 2 choices tonight. The yogurt spread out into a single facing. The scarcity made me greedily buy 30 eggs and as much produce as I could fit in my hand basket.
(no photo taken - too focused on hoarding)
The Good news: Party just in time & an extra day off
With the city essentially shut down this weekend, we lucked out that Quincy had elected for a Friday afternoon birthday party.
That left plenty of time for us to celebrate as a family & play with new toys
But maybe one of the best gifts of all - the announcement that school is closed tomorrow (along with government offices & all city employees who do not clean streets - there must be at least 5 of them)!
So here's to Quincy, extra time off to enjoy joining the double digits & SNOW MELTING TEMPERATURES that certainly must come soon!
