Oof. Throw another runnybabbit on the fire

Can you make out the outline of Britain in the picture? No? That about sums it up.

It’s been snowing for three days. I reckon we got…getting on for two feet. It’s hard to tell with the drifts.

That would be a pretty good early storm for Rhode Island on the 1st of December. It is expletive extraordinary for the South coast of England.

And like most places that get hit with a lot more of the white stuff than they’re accustomed to, everything has skittered to a halt. The usual; people spending the night in immobile trains, massive jams on major roads.

It’s supposed to stop tomorrow and get sunny, but then the temps will drop to 19ºF tomorrow night (another extraordinary number for this place) so the refreeze should be eeeeeevil.

I’ve been clomping around in my Wellies all day, cracking the ice on the chickens’ water and feeding bits to our neighborhood’s one stray cat (we take turns looking after him).

Vodka supplies….running low. Please. Send liquor.
