*smirk*

I'm sure 74 will be fine. If I get stuck anywhere will be in stinkin' Greensburg, no doubt.

I feel intense loathing growing. Very intense loathing.

Mmmmmhm.

I figure getting up the hill will be okay as long as the vehicle doesn't have to stop for any reason. And getting down the hill on our street will be ok as long as I don't inadvertently hit any icy spots.

*sigh* loathing...utter loathing.

Fixed. In NYC, we've gotten only 2 or 3 blizzards in the past 4 years. It's only snowed twice this year and only stuck once. :(

Good fix... It snows like crazy up here

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Sliding backwards sucks. And downhill... just keep your foot off the accelerator until you hit the bottom of the hill. ;)[/i][/font]

I made it home okay. Spun going up Washington Street but that was my fault for starting up the hill too fast. And to get down my street, I put the car in low gear, basically tap-rode the brakes the whole way down the hill...

and then somehow slid into my parking space in front of the house.

But my friend and coworker Jackie gave me a great idea for uphill avoidance a few minutes ago. I hadn't thought of going home that way before she mentioned it. :)

Very cool thing happened this morning....a kind Greensburg citizen with a plow blade attached to his pickup truck came down our street this morning. Plowed out the middle of the street and then plowed MY side of the street all the way to the curb. Sure I was annoyed that my fiance woke me out of a nap and told me to go move the car but once I caught the jist of what this guy was doing, I was cool. I don't know where he came from...if he knew people on the block but he said the city didn't intend on plowing our street again....

A little faith restored but I still loathe! :lol:

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]4 more inches last night. I'm sure they'll find good reason to pile it all up behind my car again. *smh*[/i][/font]

Well now that he plowed most of our side of the street probably won't have issues with a stolen parking space. Heck I came home from work this morning and Thursday morning and my shoveled space was still there. The fact that my block is such low-density parking is one thing I like about it.

My husband's working the holidays at the hospital this year. I suppose since he's one of the newest ones there, I don't know. He had to work Christmas afternoon into the morning after, and he's working New Year's Eve into New Year's Day; of ALL times he could work, he has to work over midnight turning into 2013! :(

He might be able to help you out with that one...

But seriously though, it is sort of depressing to have your husband work the first New Year's Eve you're in a new house, city, and state. :( I didn't even stay up for New Year's last year. My oldest went to bed around 9:30, and my youngest was a newborn at the time. When they went to sleep, I did too. My husband didn't even bother to wake me up. This is probably his punishment to me for last year. ;)

He works in cardiology, but we know people in oncology. I'm not quite sure they'd pass it along freely, but I tell you what...move to Colorado, and you'll be all set. :)

I was looking at our latest forecast last night....

MORE SNOW *blech* Monday into Tuesday. I was grumping because of the travel back and forth to work until I VERY HAPPILY remembered

I'm off work Monday and Tuesday. :D It will probably make getting home tricky for the Crew but I know they'll play it by ear and be safe.

I hope you are warming up! Just in from shoveling the addtional overnight 8 inches from the front steps, and from where the town plow dumped snow into the already cleared driveway. Looks like no snow for a few days. Keeping cars warm and dry in the garage.
