We had a whopper of a snow, followed by ice storm, and the aftermath is a mess. We're among the (was 300,000, now 215,000) people without power. Or Internet. (I'm using my phone data.) We've had no power (or heat) since the midnight between Sunday and Monday. Work has been closed for days. A couple of us managed to get there yesterday (I walked), but the power was cutting out and with no Internet, we can't serve customers (our program for making orders, and no credit card processing). Will try again today. And bring my charger. There is also virtually no transit, and a downed power line in front of our place (which is among 5,000 others) isn't helping (our several block section of the street is barricaded). I am going to try to get to the grocery store today after (hopefully) work. It might take a very long time, and being on foot for much of it. But we have very little food (most fridge and all freezer food goners, and no way to heat anything in cabinet). Nuts, bread, granola bars and peanut butter are getting tedious.

Ugh. Like I said, it's a MESS. I've lived here over a decade and never seen anything like it.

Mood's ok though.
