1. My driveway is over a foot deep. (Rural west MI)

The dirt roads in front and beside my house are deep in snow. But the snowmobilers are zooming up and down, going to and from the National Forest a mile down the road in two directions.

I do not expect to be able to get out of here for possibly a few days. The drifts in my long driveway are much deeper than a foot and the guy who plows isn't likely going to show up until the roads get plowed.

Hoo boy!

2. We still have plenty of snowfrom last time.

So it looks like we will be working together. Congrats.

3. Stay warm, my friend.

I am staying inside until the guy comes and plows me out. I have plenty of food, just got 150 gallons of heating oil, and plenty of home made wine (which I'll dip into shortly).

4. You too my friend.
