Let's see...got shovels, fire wood, stove oil, chains for the car, plenty of art supplies (list not in order of importance), and nice warm boots. I should be all set. Plenty of food for cat/dog and me...probably not enough chocolate, beer or wine, but I have to go in to work today so that's taken o.k.
I took 10 gallons of stove oil over to the liquor dude's cabin. He wasn't there, but I heard a compressor and a nail gun over near the house he's building, maybe they got the roof up today. Building a house in Alaska with out taking out a loan is a long and arduous road. His wife might be able to come home next month if immigration is kind to them, I hope so, they deserve a break.
View from my computer window looks out across the neighbor's yard. Past that small tree and down that lane is where the horse was staked out. The pizza lady tells me it's being taken care of at the other end of town now. I hope it's in a shelter today.

What does "chains for the car" mean? I've heard of people who live in snowy climates refer to this, but have no concept of what it means.
SNOW!!!! I don't like snow now that I'm all grown up. It's not funny anymore. Hope it stay all up by you!! I was thinking about snow today too, weird
I just caught up on all your posts since the last time I was here. Hope you are keeping warm and glad the horse is in shelter now. Down here in Arizona they leave the horses all day in the sun and it's too hot for that. Poor animals.
It will be interesting to see what you do with that banged out wall.
Chains for the car...these look like a ladder and are wrapped around the circumference of the tire to help with traction in icy conditions. The kind I got are "cable chains" meaning they're not actually made of chain but cables...less noisy, don't tend to break and trash the inside of the wheel well, and much easier to put on the car.
I'll try to keep the snow from moving east to Maine...no promises though, it's really early for this much snow here.
Snug and a bug here...lots of heating oil and firewood, ahhhh.
Kelly,
Did I detect twinkle lights in your tree? Sounds like you are well prepared. Just take special care in the bad weather.
