Snowmageddon 2026, Day 17

 The snow melted a tiny bit yesterday, thanks to the sunshine.  The forecast is calling for the temp to get up to 60 today with more sunshine.

Once again, no mail yesterday.  Maybe today. 

Snowmageddon 2026, Day 16

 It was cloudy yesterday so no sun to melt some of the snow, but today the sun is shining brightly on my old Kentucky home.  As I post this, it is 41 degrees - hopefully the temp with the sun will melt a bit more.

The Old Man had a doctor's appointment this morning, and I was so thankful for a clear ramp and driveway for him and his walker to maneuver.  On our way home, he suggested to stop by the post office and see if we could get our mail.  I went in and right back out - 10 people in the "getting mail" line.   I just got home from dropping a bag of laundry at the corner laundramat, and I went to the post office again.  I was in line for 25 minutes - with 5 people in front of me.  During that time, the line didn't move.  I said screw it and came home.  Maybe we'll get mail today.

Snowmageddon 2026, Day 16

 I am happy to report that we can actually see some grass underneath the snow.  There are a few patches showing, but it's an improvement.  It's cloudy today, so I'm sure we won't see the sun cine out.

I was excited briefly yesterday afternoon when Neighbor Nick said he had mail.  It wasn't worth bundling up to go to our mailbox - all we had was an ad for Westshore Homes.  Maybe tomorrow. 

Snowmageddon 2026, Day 15

 As I post this, it's 22 degrees but the sun is shining brightly on my old Kentucky home.  I was thankful that we didn't get the ice/freezing rain they called for yesterday.

For a few minutes yesterday afternoon, my spirits were lifted. Neighbor Nick checked and said I had mail in our box, and that he would bring it up to the front porch.  My hopes were quickly erased when I saw one small box with something I'd bought on eBay 3 weeks ago.  Maybe today. 

Snowmageddon 2026, Day 14

 It was a warm 26 degrees when I got up this morning.  As I post this, the weather app on my phone is saying heavy ice falling for the next hour.  Great.  Still no mail, but Amazon sure doesn't have any problems delivering to us. 

Snowmageddon 2026, Day 13

 When I got up this morning it was 9 degrees. It's up to a balmy 24 degrees this afternoon.  

Today is day 13 with no mail delivery.   Not much else to say, other than I am thankful for the warmth of our house and the help and care of our neighbors. 

Snowmageddon 2026, Day 12

 As I post this, it's 23 degrees - one of the "warmest" mornings we've had in weeks.  Yesterday marks 11 days since we've gotten any mail.  

We got a dusting of snow yesterday afternoon.  It was pretty watching the giant flakes falling while I was in my recliner.
