The New Hobbit Hole

[SuziQ]

I mentioned yesterday that we were expecting snow today so I had gotten all my grocery shopping done. It is a good thing! We were supposed to get a TOTAL of 1-2 inches during the day; that was exceeded before 7 am! We now have about 4 inches, and it is supposed to continue to snow lightly all during the day! The public school kids were thrilled because they have an extra day off for Thanksgiving! I'm doing all my baking (except for the turkey) today. I love to bake when it is snowing!

Hey IOTN, did Providence get socked? Y'all were supposed to get more than we going to get! Little ones are SO fascinated watching the snow. Little ones, heck, I love watching it fall, I just don't like driving in the stuff! I know you and Autumn must have had a wonderful morning making memories! I hope you took some pictures, Dad!

I love watching it snow too... It's so peaceful... and I feel safe and snug in my house. I hate driving in it. We got a dusting (the weatherman was calling for 3 inches) and driving to school, it was beautiful... the fir trees looked like they had been dipped in powder sugar.

Thanks SuziQ!

I will have to schedule my internet time around 9PM EST, that way the kids are in bed, dinner and dishes are done, etc.

Off-grid living is cool.

Can you build it John?

I'm not sure. That pipe doesn't provide much head space. Rammed-earth homes are supposed to be fairly simple to construct.

I have looked into moving off-grid. The equipment needed for converting DC to AC is expensive -- but it would be nice not to depend on others for electricity.

Hey Suzi!

I got your mail. It's not looking too good right now. I'll give you a call if something opens up, which I hope it does.

What's the forecast for this weekend? My 5-year old doesn't remember snow falling, is there a good chance he'll get to see some?

[HairOfTheDog]

That pipe doesn't seem tall enough.... especially once you build a flat floor in it. But they have bigger pipes on the pipe company's website!

What fun! Thanks! Hurry, 12/18!

From WarOfTheRing:

Also some great footage that was on E! the other day. It shows Frodo and Sam discussing being lost and followed.

Worth a look but spoilers! http://www.warofthering.net/downloads/thetwotowerstrailers.shtml
