My brother lives in Ridley. Ridley got the most snow in the area with 19 inches on top of the 30 inches it had from Saturday. We had to dig out again this morning. Don helped his neighbor who got stuck down at the corner while I was walking Danny. I decided to go into work with him. If he got stuck, at least there were two of us to dig out. I went down to the corner and waved Don through when it was clear.

There is a parking lot around the corner. It had been plowed out so I got in the car there. We had no problem from that point. They still haven't plowed out the side streets. When we had to turn into the road where Don's company is, we kinda slid around the corner but it was OK. We packed our lunches and stayed until 4:30.

When we got home, I walked Danny while Don went to the store to get some more food. We watched a couple of Don's movies. I think I fell asleep through most of it. I am really beat from all the shoveling. The people here are more considerate in shoveling their walks. I was able to walk Danny through the tunnels of sidewalks up and down the streets. In Vineland, most of the walks go unshoveled. Maybe because the walks are longer as the houses are further apart. People just shovel straight out to the street or to their driveways.

All I could say when I read about how much snow Ridley had was - OH MY GOODNESS!!! That is SO much snow that it's hard to picture. Be very careful in your walking because cars could be sliding where you would not normally be expecting that to happen. There are always those few drivers that just don't seem to drive for the conditions.

And, I said it the other day, I'm very glad you're with your brother during this time. And, I dread when you go to either of your houses to think what you might have to face in the way of snow removal. I know you're strong, but, shovel for awhile and then rest for awhile. Mother Nature will eventually begin preparing for Spring and I guess that can't come soon enough for many areas all around the country. Weird weather patterns this winter. Stay safe. Ruth
