My town (Hamden) has been declared the 'winner' with the highest snow totals in the tri-state area: 40 inches. I live at the intersection of two roads: Evergreen and Dickerman. Evergreen has one lane cleared. Dickerman remains, as of today, Monday, 2/11, under three feet of snow. Hamden and New Haven are disaster areas. Yale closed today - only the third time in 30 years (with the first two being because of Sandy in the fall) and it looks like we will be closed again tomorrow (yay for adult snow days!). The Cpt. went to work today and took our SUV...he said this area is a mess. He tried to get money at the bank: ATM is out of cash (he leaves far too early for the bank to be open). Went to get gas: Gas station is out of gas. Crazy.
AND, those of you on Facebook probably saw this but in true Robyne style, I locked myself out of the house this morning. In the pouring rain. With the dogs. We have a door blocker thing in our slider. I've told the Cpt time and time again to take it completely out of the track of the slider because one day, it will fall and lock me out. And today it did. So, I had to hike each dog individually around the corner and down Dickerman (which, as I mentioned, is under 3 feet of snow) to my neighbor's house while wearing my pajamas and the Cpt's boots (obviously too big for me). Thank doG my neighbor was home AND outside when I got locked out. I need to do something to thank her...just have to come up with an idea. Anywho...If anyone wants any snow...come on up to Hamden, CT. We have plenty and are happy to share. It is currently pouring rain and now they are calling for the possibility of another snow on Wed/Thursday and over the weekend.
Can I be considered an honorary Canadian now?!
