Aaah. Here we just get stories about Massaschusets Residents Have No Power!!! without any context as to where those people are.
In a way, it's Logan who needs beating with the stick but Connor whose viewpoint chapter it is. In another way, the fault is entirely mine. It's just going to be an emotionally difficult one towards the end, and I'm shying off it. This awful cough doesn't help. Think I need to stabilise the cough and start the thing: the beginning just needs to have enough foreboding in it, so everything can go wrong later. (As I've already written the bit where everything goes right again, this shouldn't be as hard as it is.)
good things about urban life; there's a collective interest in keeping everything going. Us and our nice neighbours got the driveway and our bit of pavement clear; we're still having to share a parking space as the streetside parking spaces that we usually use are still occupied by giant snowbanks kicked up by the ploughs, but all is well. Someone just behind us owns a snowblower, which helped a lot.
agh ;_; and I remember when STAS was a short story. almost done now? You know you want it to be done. Connor can beat Logan with a stick.
I WANT IT TO BE DONE. *hands Connor a stick* Though Eloise might break it, and I'm not sure over whose head. Current job is to work out who is going to get killed by whom in this outstanding chapter. There are going to be rather a lot of corpses from several different departments, which isn't normally as big a problem as it currently is. I'm fretting over things I haven't done, such as clarify to myself (screw the readers: I don't know) who all the people on Eloise and Calad's side actually are, because if I don't know who they all are I don't know how many I have spare to kill off now. By the end of the book it looked like I had two left plus them but IDK even how many I started with...
I didn't know what a snowblower was so I looked it up. Useful. Nice neighbours are good things to have. Did you need to go into work in the end today?
It's a vast sheet of white! I did not venture outside, and still haven't; I can't tell whether it's still snowing on top of the two feet we got, or if the wind is just blowing everything around.
eeek! We got about 3 feet but it's stopped falling, for now, and the wind's vanished too. So we were able to walk up to see our friends tonight, no problem.
We got just under 3 feet. The governor lifted the statewide travel ban an hour or so ago, but I haven't heard any plow noises. I am beginning to suspect I may not be going to work tomorrow, after all.
We got ploughs, like, immediately - they banned drivers from the roads for over 12 hours to get everything clear. Amazed at how competent everything is.
I have no idea when I'll next have to be at work; I'm not scheduled tomorrow but I do live close enough to walk over if the person who's meant to be there gets stuck. /shrug!
That is impressive! After living through multiple post-storm power fiascoes here, I'm no longer optimistic about Connecticut's ability to get anything cleaned up in a timely fashion. :P
I have a 25-minute commute on a route that is all narrow lanes, hills, and tree branches, so even if the roads in my town are okay by the time I have to leave tomorrow, the bulk of my drive may well not be. This is why I hoard my vacation days!
hahahaa he was the happiest! I was trying to keep my face out of the cold. The worst part was the horizontal snow - couldn't see or breathe easily in it. It's a lot better now. Even yesterday wasn't as cold as a lot of the cloudless days a couple of weeks ago (which tends to be the way; snow means clouds which means warmth, whereas the coldest weather comes when the skies are clear.)
I know what you mean :'D Though, the snow we have here is only on the mountains. Snowstorms can be pretty to watch... from inside the house. Did you have fun?
Yes! I didn't even mind shovelling, though I am sure that will change in the future. And Grendel is still thoroughly enjoying it, trying to climb up snowbanks, etc.
LOL i would take all this snow over a Southern summer ANY TIME. bit of snow > BEING UNABLE TO GO OUTSIDE FOR THREE MONTHS BECAUSE IT'S TOO FUCKING HOT.
