We’ve been hit by another winter storm.
This one isn’t as breath-taking as the Great Christmas Blizzard of 2009 but it’s pretty bad.
It started yesterday with freezing rain and sleet. Today we have had 6 or more inches of snow.
At least we have power. And cable and internet.
I called my Mother this afternoon. She’d been without electric and heat since 11:00 a.m. yesterday. I asked her about any shelters in her small town but she said she thought she would be o.k.
I called the County Sheriff’s office where she lives. They told me where she lived was hit the worst in the County and they were saying it would be Monday before the power was restored! They gave me the number of the city police department. I called and asked them to go check on her. They talked her into going to the shelter set up at one of the Churches in her town.
The BoyChild’s school was cancelled Thursday and Friday. The BoyChild didn’t even put pants on today.
So tell me, how long does it take to get cabin fever?

As soon as you wake up and notice over the rim of your coffee cup that the snow is LEVEL with the window sills.
I’m glad to hear about your Mom.

I am glad that your Mother has you in her life. She very well could have froze to death in her own home. On snow days in High school we went sledding down the hill at the park on cafeteria trays. Don’t think my bottom would fit on one now. I don’t think I have ever had the luxury of cabin fever.
