BRRRR
Woke up today to 5* F/-11*C. Brrrr. Ignoring my advice DB drove down the very steep driveway yesterday afternoon to retrieve the mail. The mail, as I predicted, hadn’t been delivered and then he was unable to drive back up. He had to abandon his car and walk more than half way up. The only footwear he brought from NM consists of one pair of leather oxfords and one pair running shoes. We may well be stranded for several more days. It’s supposed to rise up above freezing tomorrow but probably not far enough to melt out the shaded portion of the driveway. This is all because of less than 2” accumulation of snow.The pins were removed from the toes last Wednesday and I’m walking around in shoes without aid quite a bit and have been cleared to start driving. After a fairly short time of that the toes hurt so I take a break and sometimes a pill. Unfortunately, with the weather the way it is, driving won’t happen for a while. DB could leave any day now were it not for the weather. He has about 1500 miles to go home. This is truly freaky weather for so early in the season.
Still now sewing here but DB has a tear in his jeans so I’ll patch that with some fusible and a piece from one of the old jeans I’ve been keeping to make a long awaited jacket.
That’s about it from Southern Appalachia.

Jane-glad you are able to walk. Since it is such terrible weather, you can heal up some before driving anywhere.
We have the HEAT on here! Unheard of in Dec. in Fla.
Sara in Fla.
sI remember a Christmas in Clearwater when we had a low of 28* and Tampa was having to shut down water supply periodically due to rolling blackouts. Dinner was late because we didn't have power at the design starting time for cooking.
