Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Dec. 16th, 2007 09:00 amis fine when someone has already shoveled the sidewalk.
I went out at about 8:30 to make the first pass at digging out the car. I think that, between the snowfall and the drifting, there was at least a foot and half of snow on it. As I dug out, our maintenance guy came to do the walk and backstairs. He'd already done the gangway between the buildings, as well as the front sidewalk and stairs.
I walked over to our corner store to get the newspaper, only to find that it wasn't open. I have a feeling that the guy who's there Sunday mornings was somewhere digging out his car.
Jamie beat me to it. I'd intended to email him to make sure he got home safe, but when I went to my mail program, there was a message from him saying that, yes, he'd gotten home slowly but safely, and that the snow wasn't as bad as you went west. So that's all good.
I'm supposed to go up to the north 'burbs this afternoon. Fortunately, we're not supposed to get any more snow, and the roads should be clear by the time I have to leave.
