Thanks. (I remember filling up the bathtub on New Years Eve, 1999 :-). And, we have a floor-to-ceiling stock of TP :-)
It doesn’t look like it’s going to be that bad here; for now it has actually stopped, and they’re only calling for 1 to 3 inches by morning. The problem is driving out in the morning, no matter how little snow and ice there is - my rural-PA born Husband always complains that folks here just don’t know how to drive in it.
But I pray that the folks up North will do alright.
(However, the Metos sometimes get things wrong for us; I remember one day when only flurries were predicted, and we got slammed. Kids didn’t get home on their school buses until 10 PM, and it took me four hours to go two miles on Public Trans.)

And now you have a story of struggle against wintery blows, in which the children have played a part.
I think that there will be a consequence of the government ordering us off the roads and closing down public transportation at their whim and not because nature has made them inoperable. This nannification will make us less self- directed and more meek. Your husband learned how to drive in bad conditions because he had to; others who were ordered not to, will never gain the skills,and if there is an emergency will not have the practice and could be doomed.
I envy your floor to ceiling TP. My husband found a name for someone like me who has a fear of running out of TP, and will not let me store more than can be fit in the empty portable kennel in the garage.
Happy New Year, JT., looking forward to your stories on FR>
