Storm of the Decade Part II



More snow, about 25 inches. I started to get a little cabin fever and went for a walk. I wasn't prepared, no snow boots, or snow pants. I walked through a thicket and cut open my legs and had immediate exposure to frost nip. The doctor gave me a tetnus shot and some anitbiotic to heal my wounds. Peter had lots of fun, and my mother was still here! Jeff built an igloo with steps and a slide for Peter. He loved it. (Peter did too!)

Storm of the Decade Part 1




We got hit with snow, a lot of it. Five foot banks towered over the local road. The farmer told Jeff that he wouldn't be able to get out of our road. He was right. We had plenty of food, plenty of heating oil, and plenty of things to do. My mother was here at one point. We baked and ate, and ate and baked plenty those days.
