Hey, I have power (for the moment anyway)

February 6th, 2010 at 09:21 pm

Well I do have power at the moment though it could change any time. Like a few others here, I was in the center of this storm here on the east coast. They are saying it is going to snow another hour or so, but yikes, there is sure enough out there now. Everywhere around here is reporting at least 2 feet of snow. The little I tried to shovel was so packed, you could make igloo bricks out of it. And with no plowing on the side streets around here, its not like I could go anywhere even if I finished the driveway.

One interesting thing... the experiment with really low temps helped, as I was used to having the house cold, so the lack of heat wasn't that noticable. Last night with no power meant the temps dropped in the house, but it was still 50 when I got up in the morning.

Time to go shovel some more!

    Try to stay warm! Thinking of you in the East today.

    I saw DC on the news. Man, you got a lot of snow! My dad on the Jersey shore got 17 inches!

    Be careful shoveling. Take breaks and don't lift too much at time -- especially that heavy snow. I lost my brother to a heart attack and any talk of shoveling always makes me nervous.

    Thanks for the concern, but no problem here. I work out every day at my job, and its gotten my heart very strong - well that's based on my heartbeat going down to 45-55 beats/minute (as measured every time I go to donate blood). When its been below 50 I have to tell them I don't have a heart problem, but that I work out instead, so they'll allow me to give blood.
