We had to get out and shovel again this morning. It was heavy and wet. First I had to shovel a path for Danny and then help Don shovel out the driveway. I guess if I had been ready, I could have gone to work with him but I hadn't eaten and I had my fleece suit over my pj's. I thought, if I went in at ten, I only have to leave at 11 because that's when the blizzard was starting.
I saw my friend, Sylvia out shoveling so I went out and gave her a hand.
My niece, Cheryl called. She didn't know if I were in CC, Vld, or at Don's. She said their carport for their boat had the posts starting to buckle. They had to go out and shovel the snow off the roof of that, and their two sheds. I hope the roof on my mobile home is OK. The snow has been mixed with rain and sleet. When I go out, I get soaking wet. Both of my coats are wet along with my gloves and hat. I hung everything in the celler. There was no place to put the wet clothes in the house. I had them in the kitchen but when Don came home at lunchtime, he had wet clothes, too. Danny's coat and his towel needed to be hung up. Don doesn't have a dryer so that wasn't an option, either.
Everything is closed. The only major highway still open is Interstate 95. The turnpike is closed and so is the blue route and the Schulkill Expessway. The airport has been closed for two days. The snow in front of my friend Sylvia's house is shoulder high and the pile down at the corner of Don's property is over my head. We took some photos.
We watch a James Bond movie this afternoon. Don got a new 46 inch led digital tv. Even thought it is higher that the old tv was, it didn't take long for Danny to find it and bark at the animals when he sees them. There is a commercial with hamsters and he barks at them.
I don't know if they will get the roads plowed out by morning or not. If I go in with Don then Danny will be stuck inside too long. He doesn't know my friend, Sylvia so I can't ask her to take him out. Besides, she is in her seventies and has to take her own dog out.
We'll just have to wait and see in the morning.

What an unbelievable winter this has been for your part of the country. It's hard to imagine the snow being shoulder high. And, the fact that it's so wet and heavy isn't going to help either. Life as you know it has ceased until some of the snow is gone - and when will that be??? I am thankful you're with your brother. It just makes me feel that you and Danny are safer with him rather than being alone. Be very careful in whatever you do. Love, Ruth
