wow! we freak out in the UK when we get 2 inches of the stuff! lol. seriously , the British public are ridiculous, we had one day of snow last year and you would think it was the end of the word-our neighbours bought 4 loaves of bread and 4 pints of milk-just in case. I dont know why they think the world would collapse if their milk supply runs out!

Lol. That’s funny. Here we only get a few days like this per year, so there aren’t enough snow plows. My street wasn’t plowed at all today. All schools were closed throughout the metropolitan area, as were a lot of businesses. Now there are high winds and we’re supposed to get a few more inches tonight. At least the power is back on! Apparently someone skidded into a pole and brought down a wire, affecting 2100 households.

No snow today but a lot of rain and wind tempest last week and a sunny weekend now.

I’d never heard that song before! When I was a kid, they used to deliver milk to the door like that. We’d leave the empties in the little two-sided cupboard by the front door and the milkman would replace it.

Sue wow!! We are supposed to get snow this weekend but it has been very balmy in DC then cold at night!!
What season are you on House MD? Hugh Laurie is fabulous as House!!! 😘❤️

No more snow last night, but one more power failure. They ran a House marathon over the holidays of the whole series on TV, so I recorded them all. I’ve seen them before but I don’t remember the details. I have 80 or so episodes left! Yes, I have a thing for Hugh Laurie as House, although not for Laurie in his real persona. Although he is very talented and brilliant.

I tried watching The Night Manager, but I really didn’t like it. Tom Hiddleston is another one of those where I love the character (Loki), but I don’t feel the same about the actor.

The plot finally came to my street overnight, so I was able to drive to work. Saturday the weather is supposed to shift and we could get up to 30 mm of rain that day!

Lol… I just realized that autocorrect didn’t like plow and changed it to plot, maybe thinking I had lost the plot!

Yeah, under-plotting was clearly what you were suffering from . Glad you’ve returned to your normal narrative trajectory!

I will gladly take some of your snow! I was mad that ours melted before Christmas. I used to LOVE watching House MD. Hugh Laurie was so convincing in that role 😎

The last week has been our first snow. People here are funny, though… I just saw a guy walking from Starbucks in flip flops! Yes, I loved House the first time I binged it and I’m loving it again!

flip flops in the snow sounds like Indiana too 😀 my son will only wear long pants when he’s forced (to work), the rest of the time he wears shorts and a long sleeve sweatshirt instead of a coat. granted, he does have very hairy legs but still 🙄

Wow. But I think you freeze your skin if you go out with bare toes or legs when it’s below freezing! (Even with hairy legs, I would think — or hairy toes!)

oops!!! I hope the power has been restored by now. I have to admit, though, that I think that snow picture is very pretty. (But as always, that comment comes from the POV of someone who lives in place where there is hardly any snow at all!)
Hope you are all well! Missing you!

Yes, we had another power failure overnight, but all good now. The snow is pretty, but our cities here are just not prepared for it. Not enough plows. This is the second year I’ve used snow tires, though, which makes a huge difference.
Yeah, I’m ok. Thanks. Working too hard and somehow watching House when I get home is all I have the energy for. I hope if I make little forays into blogging, that it will become a habit again.

That would be lovely, Sue! Sorry to hear you are overworked. It’s especially hard at this time of year – dark and cold and somehow generally a bit of a dip for the soul. Maybe The Stranger will revive our spirits again when it comes out at the end of the month! xx

You could send some of that beautiful white stuff down here to your neighbors in the south….Here in the Northeast Coast of the USA we’ve not really had winter as of yet….The temps here have been well above average…..I do hope your power is restored soon so you can at least finish watching House (loved that show)….Take care, be safe………….

Especially when you consider that we are supposed to mainly be a rainy city in the winter! We’re supposed to get more snow this evening, switching over to rain during Saturday.
