Snow Indeed - Part Two! ! ! !

SHIP'S LOG:

     I don't know about where you are, but down here on the coast our 2+ feet is like a layer cake. The top couple of inches is ice, followed by succeeding alternate layers of fluffy snow, then ice, then fluffy snow, then ice, then fluffy snow . . .  you get the idea. 

    Freeing my car was a trip, buried as it had been by the snow plow as well as by the drifting snow. It took a good hour to clear enough so that the P.O.S. - awful in anything by the warmest and driest of weather - could wriggle itself out of its grave. It is also brutally cold and will remain so over night, getting even colder.

     To get past the cold and the snow and the howling wind, I went on all sorts of Caribbean sailboat charter sites just to get warm. Would that I had had the money, say Wednesday last, I would have been gone in a shot!!
