First let me share for you a graphic of predicted snow for
the Upper Valley:
I have done the math; between 40 and 59 inches of snow in
the next 10 days. That is an accumulation of between 3’8” and 4’11” of snow. And
you may notice it never pops above freezing in those 10 days. Add to that, I
got 6” of snow earlier in the week (which has compressed/melted to about 4” of
snow) and this could be epic!
So anyway, I went into Hood River this morning to prepare
for Snowmageddon (which is scheduled to begin at approx. 6:07PM tonight, Hood
River time). I was going to go yesterday, but realized I only had a six day
supply of one of my meds, so I put off the big run to town until today. I did
go to Odell yesterday, and got the two items that Hood River always runs out of
in a storm: milk and toilet paper!
But this morning I was not alone in my sojourn.
Everyone in the county was in Rosauers this morning. I had
to circle the lot to find a parking place (shades of Black Friday in Seattle!)
I had to wait for a shopping cart. I bounced off more strangers and ran into
more friends than I have in ages. Everyone was in a great mood, looking forward
to Snowmageddon! For as much fun as it was, a two hour trip turned into four
and a half hours! Billie Jean was frantically worried when I got home!

Should be beautiful! Since you have toilet paper and milk I assume you can stay home for a while. More importantly - do you have plenty of cat food?
Yes, that was my big reason for the trip to Hood River this morning... drugs were just a nice excuse!
