And Another Storm

As you can see we will not be using our deck for any purpose in the near future. Today the Mayor declared the city under a Snow III condition, which means only emergency vehicles can drive in the city. Both our universities have been closed since Monday and will be tomorrow. We have plenty of food but our mixed nuts and pistachios are gone. There is plenty of food in the freezer but we are beginning to miss fresh vegetables and a variety of fruit. We are down to two apples and a few clementines. On the plus side, between the two storms our kitchen cabinets and appliances were delivered on Tuesday. Tonight we will eat beef stew with baked potatoes. Last night I tried cooking green beans in the microwave with negative results. Tonight I will do them in a pot on our nifty hot plate.

P.S. My husband and I have been playing a daily scrabble game; the score is 3 games to 3.
