NO MORE SNOW!!!! the weather here is finally up. today was the first real nice day... in the high 40's. thank god I live in Idaho! but, I will admit that this year has been a heavy winter. first time I remember the ice sticking around so long! Its time for spring! We are praying for all of you guys on the east coast. now, it time to dig out and get ready for spring.... good luck with all the recovery....
Lucky you, John!

Actually the storm is finally over here - the winds have dropped to next to nothing - the plow made its first pass this afternoon between 4 and 5, and I was just wakened by the sound of the plow trying to knock back the drifts on the road.. He worked away at it for about 20 minutes, right where the two cars were stuck earlier.
Due to heart problems, I can't shovel, but Linda "found" our car earlier in the evening and shoveled around it, and our neighbour's huge blower should be here in the morning finally releasing us from our wintery bonds!
I am sure there will still be a lot of shoveling to do after, but at least we will be able to go to the store or whatever.
They are calling for a rain storm and plus 6 c. for us on Tuesday, so the more we get cleaned up now, the better.
Update: Mon, Feb 13 - We are finally out! Our next door neighbour just cleared our drive! took them quite a while with their huge 4 wheel drive tractor and blower. Thank goodness! We were going stir crazy!
