I Survived The Blizzard of 2015

SHIP'S LOG:

     I can't say just how happy I am that I am not living aboard, at least here in Connecticut. In Key Largo or Key West would be different, but not here. Ensconced here in what a friend calls "the Bridal Suite," I am warm and dry  and even have a warm toilet seat. AH! It something close to "paradise."

     My car is parked in a lot behind the Crocker House. The lot must have once housed a building that has been torn down and so it is surrounded by three walls. With the 40-50mph winds and 26 inches+ of snow, all the cars really got buried. Before the lot was plowed, I could barely make out the roof of my car. The lot is small and when it was plowed out, they merely cut two pathways, further burying the cars therein.  So I made an attempt to at least get to the car, get inside and see if it would start. I didn't have a shovel and had to make do with a broom. Lets just say it was the equivalent of bring a knife to a gun fight. I was able to get in and start the P.O.S. but that was about it.  Of course, the weather will continue to be frustrating as today was supposed to be clear though cold, but tomorrow there will be more snow. Then clear and old on Friday and more snow on the weekend. O, I hate winter.
