I think I could have driven 15 miles in any direction--if I wasn't afraid of the driving ban--and run into snow, but for us it is over. Nothing at all ---weird. I guess I'm a little disappointed.

I am very lucky to not be one of the 85,000 that don't have electricity in NC right now. I'm a little more North, not to far southwest of us got hit with more freezing rain last night that took out trees and powerlines.

Things slowed down today, the clouds never left, never saw sunshine, and the wind started whipping away, but the last white frozen thing I saw fall from the sky was around 12:30ish.

Now we just have to wait for some warm temps and get all this ice and snow melted...I doubt I'll be driving the 45 min. to my office in Durham on Monday.

Also, we've got a crew that's supposed to head up to New York on Tuesday or Wednesday for one of our major Tradshow's of the Season...not sure that's going to happen with the blizzard that shot up the East Coast...that show costs us $15,000 for our booth space, so that will suck big time. They usually drive a 26' Penske Truck full of Rugs and other Antiquities...right up the I95 corridor....but that whole route is under between 1 - 3 feet of snow and I doubt it will all be melted by Tuesday..going to be a very interesting week at work.

As for being hold up inside all day, I made a pot of beef stew, a tuna casserole, M&M Walnut cookies, and Banana Bread, then gave it all out to the neighbors. I cook when I'm bored....but not much on the eating.

Tomorrow hopefully we'll get above freezing and some of this will start to melt.

I had tuna casserole last week from tuna helper...probably not as good as home made....I like beef stew but hardly ever build it for myself but will buy canned dinty moore...LOL

I am sorry your company is going to get hit hard with loss of business from not being able to go to trade show....but I bet everyone is in same boat that wanted to go....so maybe they reschedule? Possibly but not probably....think positive...hugs

I think the streets should finally be melted down enough tomorrow that I can go into the office around noon and see what's going on over there. I am so tired of being in this house! lol

Hope everyone else is defrosted and melting!

cabin fever? Hahaha...I pity the people who happen to be too old to remove the snow from their homes and cannot get out to their doctors and grocery stores....it sucks...

anyway glad your thinking of getting out..

I hear ya Bill. We live in the type of farm/ranch/country community where farmers go out with their tractors and plow peoples driveways and private roads and such that the County never seems to get around too. Many churches out here and they do very good at taking care of the elderly in the community who need assistance with snow removal. In town, in Chapel Hill where the University is, the Buses never stop running so if you can't drive or ride your bike (almost more bikers than cars) they can use the bus system to get around.

I did get out today and went to the office for about 6 hours. It felt very good to get out of the house and do something productive with my time that didn't involve cleaning or sudoku or baking/cooking! We're in the 60's all this week so we should be completely melted! Yay.
