Today I decided to go to town in my big old H2 Hummer. I didn't figure that our long, uphill slopping driveway would be any match for the H2 in 4WD low. Was I ever mistaken. I only got half-way up the driveway before I started sliding back down. I tried several times before I finally said that I was no match for the ice sheet that had formed under the foot deep snow. Pam was glad because she didn't want me to go anywhere anyway. Now I am truly feeling cabin fever and want this to be over soon. More snow is expected later in the week. Great. I can hardly wait. What a pain. The snow load got so heavy that it caved in the top on our party barge. The frame just couldn't take it and collapsed.
On a happier note, it has been fun going for walks in the snow. We have met several of our neighbors since they can't get out of their driveways either. One parked two miles away at a gas station and walked home. We are all walking and enjoying our talks with each other while the dogs run around without having to worry about traffic.
A minor disaster struck our party barge.
