Yep, that's right. It's 10:40pm and we're still snowed-in, it's still snowing and the wind is still crazy. I've never seen a storm last this long. Mother Nature is very determined.
Though I must say how happy I am to be living on Base right now.
Some of our friends who live a couple houses down the street from us braved the cold wind and snow to come have dinner with us. (Delicious honey mustard cranberry pork!)
After dinner, we move over to the living room and our friend says "Hey! Someone plowed your driveway!!" What!? He was right, someone had come and plowed or shovelled our driveway while we were having dinner. The wall of drifting snow was about 6 feet high last time I checked. We couldn't see any tracks coming towards the house or anything like that so we were really wondering who could have done this. We started calling friends to ask around and thank whoever it was! Our friend Gary said he'd seen our neighbor shovelling our driveway earlier. We were shocked. He's a nice man but we don't really know him. We were expecting that a friend of ours, having seen the photos on Facebook had decided to surprise us.
Js ran over to bring him some of the desert we'd made for our guests to thank him - we had some left over as I apparently like to cook enough to feed a small country. He said he got bored sitting at home and saw how much snow Js had shovelled during the day and decided to lend us a hand. Got bored?! How nice is that!!
I feel a lot better now about ever being stuck out here by myself in the winter. As long as he doesn't move away!!

*grumble* I'm by myself on base and no one thinks to offer to help... seriously, someone should be "assigned" to spouses of the deployed to do "husbandly duties"
