everyone knows it's windy
the weather forecast for last night called for gusts up to 60 mph. naturally i was terrified that we would wake to find the woodpile crashed to flinders — so worried that i woke several times in the night just to check.
i am happy to report that the stacks stood firm in the onslaught. we did, however, experience several weird power outages; about a foot of snow accumulation; and one of the neighbors' trees falling across our driveway. angry mr. plow called at, oh, 5 am to tell us he couldn't get his truck past it.
until the tree is removed and the driveway plowed, we are housebound. normally i would be overjoyed, but because the cat needs to go back to the vet again today, i'm stewing a bit.
and watching it continue to snow through my office window. check the webcam to enjoy it vicariously.

That name again? Mr. Plow.
Y'know, even on days where I really wanna stay in, it drives me crazy if I can't get out. I'm such a control freak about that.

who has to pay to move the tree? the person whose yard it was in, or the person whose driveway it fell on?

they do, baby. but next time it'll be our tree on their driveway, so i guess it pretty much evens out.
