Thirteen inches of snow - a record for this day of the year, so ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eor reports. He helped push a woman's car out of an intersection on his way home, and lemondropgirl reports that the girl who lives across the street from her helped her shovel her (lemondropgirl's) driveway, after having done all of her own. It makes me happy that people do help each other out in situations like that. It always has. I remember when my brothers were still in high school (I'm the oldest), going out with them in a snowstorm for the express purpose of looking for people who needed help getting their cars unstuck, just because it felt good. But then again, we were odd kids, I suppose.
I armed myself with a plastic dustpan, this morning - it worked really well for removing the snow from my car before work, and after work I found it also worked admirably for scraping the windshield on my co-worker's car, and shoveling out behind it. I left my car in the parking lot at work - it seemed more sensible than driving home and then paying for a parking garage. Don't know why I've never done this before. Well, we'll see how it works out. Tomorrow I have to take the bus over there, dig it out (with the dustpan) and drive to Rockland. At least that's my present plan. Eor's worried that the roads are going to be black ice, and he'd rather I didn't go. I want to go because it's a family party, and there's a good likelihood that an aunt who I really like and haven't seen in ages is going to be there. (On the other hand there's the drawback of witnessing my other aunt snipe at my Dad - ah, there's nothing like being in the bosom of the family at holiday time.)

I'm so jealous.
Although given the car-pushing, I can see how it'd be a pain, too. But still... we don't have any snow, it's too fricking hot here. >.
