No Time To Post

When I checked in with Mama Pea this morning via e-mail, I warned her that I wouldn't take the time to post this AM, but here I am.  Just a quick one.  More later when my feet are propped up in front of the fire, and I have a cocktail at hand.

For now, though, Snow Triage is the priority of the day.  Winter HAS arrived!  I took the new header pic this AM.  I couldn't get home Saturday night, the roads were too bad.  Got halfway and stayed with friends before I was too far away (from houses) for that option.

The beginning of the storm on Saturday.

Got about 1/2 mile from home last night before I had to walk.  I measured 8" last night, and that's quite a bit more than the Yaris's clearance!  If I'd had the snow tires on the car (that was on my schedule for today), I think I could have made it . . . at least to the driveway.

Anyway, in this order, this is what I'm heading out to do:

1. See if the truck will start or if I have to charge the battery (since the car's not here to jump it).  Noticed I hadn't shut the door the entire way last time I'd grabbed something from inside, and I'm worried that the dome light was on and ran the battery down.
2. Clean off the solar panels in case any sun should shine through today and charge up the electrical system.
3. Try to Hook up the snowplow (by myself for the first time!).
4. Plow the 4 1/2 mile driveway.
5. Get the car home.

Coming home last night.  Ahhh, I sure am one lucky girl!

A blurry picture, but things were awfully pretty.
