Nemo came and hit us hard. We had more than 30 inches of snow and were snowed in for 4 days. Initially it was nice to be snowed in. It was exciting. (Queue Will Smith's Just the three Two of Us but in my mind he is singing three of us). The storm started Friday at noon and didn't stop till probably Saturday morning. The State was in a state of emergency. The Governor had banned driving till the next day. Later we saw that people who were "brave" (read stupid) enough to drive got stuck somewhere. People had abandoned their cars on highways because they couldn't drive in snow. being snowed in felt like a blessing in the beginning and a torture by the end. Here is the best way to describe what i went thru:
Friday night - yay! snowed in. let's get pizza. 2 large pies, yes please thank you very much. and a bottle of wine. We are putting Veer to bed and enjoying that wine.
Saturday morning. - Oh wow, look at all this snow. Roads are not clean but they will get cleaned soon. Thank god we ordered 2 pies of pizza. introduce Veer to snow. he gets scared and we keep opening the door to show him the snow for the next few hours. it is quiet funny how he runs away from it.
Saturday afternoon - oh wow, look at all this snow. I wonder when the plows are going to come.
Saturday evening - oh well, the plows didn't come today. Thank god for our pizza. and another bottle of wine.
Sunday morning - oh i wonder what time the plows will come. We are almost out of milk.
Sunday afternoon - well i think we should at least clean the car. Our car is literally buried. I should make Anand a hot meal even though we have some pizza left.
Sunday evening- WTF. where are the plows. We need to get to work tomorrow. Make a nice and hot meal for Anand who had been outside shoveling for 4 hours.
Monday morning - okay, seriously WTF. where are the plows. I can work from home but i still need the roads to be cleaned. Veer is at home from daycare because we cannot leave this condo complex. If something happened an ambulance could not get in.
Monday afternoon - WTF. Dad comes to pick Anand up, he runs a few errands, and brings home the milk. yay, we have milk for Veer! Where the heck are the plows!?!?
Monday evening - this is not funny. WTF?!?! stupid $%*#&#*@!
Monday 9pm- we hear a plow. Anand decides to stay up so he can make sure the plow doesn't block us in. Around 2am he falls asleep waiting for them to come by our condo.
Tuesday morning - YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. they cleaned right up to our condo but not in front of our condo. those damn #%^&*@!
Tuesday afternoon - we are out. thank you.
