Perna, I understand! I had to stop watching the news as I was getting very stressed by the warnings about roof collapses. Now I'm afraid to go to sleep in case my house falls on me. Seriously!

Weather like this can be hard because when you are stuck, you can feel powerless. Finding someone who can help you go get food was a great idea. Knowing that you are equipped for being stuck helps a lot. Please, take care as you shovel out! It's a big job. I hope your neighbors are able to help you a bit with the shoveling, too.
