*gulp*
We had a snow storm last night. A big one. An unusual one for this early in winter.
It's at least a foot deep with drifts that are much bigger. Sadly a large part of my driveway was one of those deeper drifts :-( I have shovelled my porch, path and drive, though, so I'm feeling quite proud of myself. And rather achy. My neighbour opposite was lovely and came over to give me a hand when he'd finished his drive so I have now met and been introduced to my neighbours. Hooray!
I've just never seen this much snow before. I'm hoping that the ploughs come through soon because I'm trapped here until they do. I'm supposed to be bringing my aunt over to stay the night later but that's only going to happen if I actually get ploughed out.
I feel so glad that I have winter tyres on my car. So, so, so, so glad.
It looks like I'll have to insist on getting the log-ons to work from home because even if the office doesn't close on a day like this, I may not be able to get out anywhere until ploughs come through. Hopefully it won't be much longer: there are a lot of people living up here and we have a hill to conquer in order to get in or out. Surely the authorities won't leave a couple of hundred people unable to leave their neighbourhood for a few days?
Apparently it's going to warm up and rain next week so this isn't going to last.
Hey, I'm going to have a white birthday!
ETA: The cats are loving this. They've been sitting on the windowsill watching everything for hours. My neighbours think my cats are gorgeous. It's so exciting for them!

I hope all your colleagues got home ok eventually and that you stay safe and warm.
