I'm definitely losing my mind. And the news just predicted 20 more cms of snow this weekend.

Grocery stores are going to be open on Sunday from 1-6pm.

I know! The guy at the Irving just told me that. Calgon take me away!

The store that's a couple of blocks away is closed. I think he must have run out of stuff. It was just open at 3. I went to the Irving for milk and they had one small carton of blend left.

I hope they have milk.

Navigating outside is like being in a labrynth. You never know how far you're going to get down a road/sidewalk before meeting a big pile o snow. That's from going only a few blocks.

I hope they have milk.

I hope they have toilet paper.

B. went out for a walk earlier and almost got stuck in a snow drift up to his waist. He came inside covered in snow.

That happened to me just now...though only one leg, thigh high. I knew that I was going to sink because you could see where other people had sunk, but I didn't feel like walking all the way back and trying my luck on the street, and I knew the sidewalk on the other side was clear.

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

Should I laugh, or just make promises of help I can't possibly keep?

Options, options. Maybe I'll just take my moderately swank number and shine it up a bit.

Has anyone been plowed out yet? The side street that I can see from my window is still unplowed. My friend's in Fall River are all plowed out though!

Thanks for all the fish.

We're plowed out.

Joe has no milk.

Since we leave on Thursday, do we want milk?

We've been using ice-cream in our coffee. Works nicely.

What's this about the driving/walking between 11pm-7am ban?

They had a curfew last night to keep people off the road so they wouldn't get in the way of plows. I don't know if they are doing it tonight. Just read on the Halifax website that there are no buses until Monday.

I went to the grocery store. The dairy section only had buttermilk and cream left. So I went to the health food seciton where there was lots of organic milk...for a price. But I buy sometimes anyway. So yay! Milk! I bought stuff to make veggie chilli though the fresh produce pickins' were slim. Had to buy organic mushrooms because the regular ones looked scary. But now I have milk and peanut butter again. That could sustain me for days.

I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw was my cats sitting on my armchair looking up and out the window. (I think a bird must have flown onto the roof.) One was sitting on the arm, one on the back. They were perfectly posed. I snuck out of bed as quietly as I could and grabbed my camera. I took a bunch of shots trying to get a god exposure. If it turns out, it will be an amazing picture I think.

I'm made of felt and my....hey, who's hand is that?

Oddest thing. Megan and I walked down Spring Garden to get emergency supplies from SD, and at the corner where Rogue's Roost is, we were waiting for the light, and I was leaning on the "don't walk" sign.... That was just the compressed snow/trail along an unshoveled sidewalk elevating us about 4-6 feet higher than normal. Was an interesting perspective.

Walking through all the canyons of snow, I feel vaguely as if I should be targetting womprats or something...

It feels like I am in the maze with the minotaur to me.

Is there much open downtown? I heard Park Lane is open.
