It’s been about a week since the blizzards started, and I think today was the first day of the rest of our lives. We’ve been mostly waiting the storms out at home, although we did get out a few times on and near Christmas Day.
Today was also the first day we got any plowing on our street, which made all the difference. We tried to keep the driveway pretty close to shoveled, so that we could start driving again ASAP. Getting our street plowed today made it very quick to get from the beginning of shoveling to the beginning of driving (maybe an hour).
Things we learned:
1.) Buy more groceries that can stay edible for a week or two.
2.) Make sure we have shovels before the snow starts (we bought ours after the first blizzard).
3.) Make sure we have a car that is tough enough to drive in relatively deep snow, just in case we get stuck without plowing again.
4.) Maybe an indoor pool isn’t as decadent as it might have seemed at first…
