Still snowed in

Winter Cabin
Greetings from the Frozen North.  Feel free to park your dog sled right outside the front door of my igloo.  I may be exaggerating just a tad.  However, it was cold enough for road conditions to remain bad the entire weekend and for our holiday party to be canceled.  Womp womp womp.  I went running outside this afternoon (the only hour of above-freezing temps this weekend) and the trees are still bowed over with the weight of ice on the leaves and branches.  At least the roads melted enough for me to go get provisions because they're supposed to refreeze tonight and most likely we'll be stuck inside tomorrow as well.  I've fared relatively well during this Great Freeze, having not lost power and remaining relatively entertained with some snowy football and crummy holiday movies.  But guys, I'm getting cabin fever - these white apartment walls are starting to close in around me and even a smile from the UPS man would be a welcome sight.  Do me a favor and send us some warmth before I start maxing out my credit card on the Home Shopping Network.

  1. I've seen some pictures! It's weird, I don't think I ever expected it to be that bad or last this long. I know some people in the Dallas area and they're going crazy with being stuck inside too. Maybe it's a good time to hunker down and write your masterpiece. :) But in all seriousness, stay safe and I hope things warm up soon. Good luck!

  5. Once when I was in high school we'd planned a Snowball Dance (girls ask the boys) and it got canceled (ironic) due to a snowstorm. We were devastated. So sad. I can't believe all that crazy weather you guys got!

  6. Yikes. I wish I had warmth to send, but it's freezing here too. So miserable. I kinda' like those cheesy holiday movies - they're a guilty pleasure.

  7. Oh, boy. I'd love for whomever is hoarding the warmth to spread it around a bit. It's currently -2 (when it gets this cold I usually console myself with the fact that it's not as cold as where my friend lives, in Alaska. But they're about thirty degrees warmer right now. So now it's just rude).

    I will, however, send warm thoughts . . . also, I'm with Mrs. Ricefield, perhaps this is your chance to write your novel. GASP! I can't wait to read it!

    PS- I love that banner.

  9. Oh I would KILL for a snow day! We got about 6 inches yesterday and it was back to business as usual this morning. Nothing was really affected, haha. I hate that we're so prepared for snow storms! If we were caught off guard I'd still be in my pjs at home like you :) xo

  11. fun times! i am hoping we get more snow today - they say we might?? everything shuts down here when it snows, and especially when it gets icy. we have had some serious days of cabin fever before. when m+l were just little teeny tiny babies it snowed for something like 3 weeks and we got tons and tons of snow, so we were stuck the entire time watching the 24 hour new coverage of the 'winter blast,' but now it's one of my most treasured memories :)

    (ps what were those two comics you recommended to me?)

  14. Awwww! I thought of you this morning when the neighbor across the street was snow blowing the dusting of snow we got overnight {it could have been swept away with a broom}. It 5 am so it was even funnier because I was over-tired. They moved in over the summer and had Virginia plates so this may be a first for them.

    I hope things get a bit warmer for you because, as pretty as snow is, ice is never fun. Neither is being stuck inside for days on end. :(

  15. lol! I hate it when it's that icy snow where you really can't even go outside to walk. I think Amazon is more of my danger zone if I spend too much time at home :)

  16. Sending you a big warm hug. Our weather has been a bit crazy too but because it has been unseasonably warm. I had to take my coat off while I was out and about yesterday........
