    Sorry to hear about the ice and power outages. We currently have 17" on the ground and 1-3 more are on the way. The drifts are really bad. Everything is closing for tomorrow; we're under a snow emergency. Our blizzard warning will continue until tomorrow a.m. This is definitely a record-breaking blizzard for our area.

And the stocking up question I work for Wal-Mart, So I am always in a store. But people get crazy when they are calling for snow.

    Ok so I called the company and the message said that employees were to come in at 9am. I looked at a weather site for Fort Wayne and it said:

    The City of Fort Wayne remains under a snow emergency. Allen County remains under a Level 2 Snow and Ice Emergency. These declarations are in place until further notice.

    Non-essential City and County employees should not report to work on Wednesday.

    And where I'm at we're under a snow advisory until noon (snow has stopped but because it's cold and windy alot of it is blowing around causing huge drifts). So I left a message for my contact about resecheduling my interview. I'm waiting for her call.

    I had to come to upstate NY for a meeting in Oneonta NY, wouldn't you know they didn't cancel until I was already close to the town, I live 6 hours south in Western NY, now I am stuck here. OMG there is nothing to do in this hotel room. Oh well I guess there is something to be said for working at home oh yeah in a hotel.

    Yeah the kids didn't close the garage correctly so we have a little bit blowing in.

    We have a good 19 inches of snow on the ground now. It's bitter cold and windy. Drifts are rediculously high. They've extended our snow emergency until 5 p.m. today. Virtually EVERYTHING is closed-schools, county offices, banks, you name it. The only people out are ones who have a snow plow on their trucks. Even county snow plow trucks are getting stuck.
