I am snowed in

[sparkindarkness]

Well, probably not snowed in, panic buy and huddle and hope for rescue with hurricane lamps (what exactly are hurricane lamps? I hear they’re the thing to buy when you are doing the panic buying things and I do want to make sure I do it properly). I can go out the door and walk to places with great difficulty and considerable dishevelment.

Of course, none of the roads are ploughed or salted – the council again having been totally caught out by the fact it snows in winter (ok ok, I’ll be fair. It is considerably more snowy than it usually is so I guess they get some kind of break). So main roads are clear but none of the roads leading to them are. In theory I could drive on them, however, I’m disinclined to risk it.
Or perhaps, it should be better said that I absolutely loathe snow and the first sign of that first flake falling from the sky had me scouting for an excuse not to go out in it. I don’t do snow. It better not get in the way of my holiday.

It has been snowing on and off since Friday and it’s not thawing. It’s pretty deep now – and it’s snowing again (and not thawing). This bodes no good. *huddles*

Oh, and Beloved is being watched. If I see one snow ball, he will suffer

This is a hurricane lamp: http://www.stainglassdesign.com/antiques/images/HurricaneLamp4.JPG .

They're wonderful for keeping light in the area when the winds are really high, because it's almost impossible to blow the damn things out.
