Thanks Dharma!
I may check out the chat room when I return - I haven't been in a chat yet.
I'm about to head out with the boyfriend to drive around the neighborhood to look at the snow... we made a deal that if he goes out driving now, he won't go out tomorrow when we have 2 feet on the ground. Plus, if I go with him, he will be extra careful since I'm in the car.
Wish me and my nerves luck.

Stay safe east coasters! Isn't it great to be free of drinking and not having to worry if you have enough? I don't miss that! It's like a ball and chain. Have a good weekend, hope you keep your power.

We made it back alright. He only went about 5mph the whole way, and most of the road had fresh tire tracks we could follow.
It's really starting to pick up out there.. both the snow and the wind.
I wonder how many people in my town are drinking right now.. probably every house on my block, and everyone in the 10 mile radius... at least..

Glad you made it back safely, Wicket.

Winds are picking up a bit here, too, but still calm overall. Snow is accumulating a little more quickly.

I'm in VA and we have a pile of the white stuff and still getting it. I have a drunk husband snoring in the guest bedroom that I am not too happy with at the moment

I am sorry to hear about your husband, FWG.

The snow is starting to pile up here, too. Thankfully the winds haven't cranked up yet.

Stay safe.

Thanks everyone for your good thoughts.

We haven't seen a snowflake yet, but I know it's coming. Stay safe.

It’s definitely a full blown blizzard now. So. Much. Snow. And even more to come. They say another foot is coming overnight.
I'm starting to think too much. It's getting to me and my AV is acting up. I guess I’m just getting tired. The sad part about it is, I have the option to drink if I wanted to. My dad has beer. (I live in a back-of-the-house apartment type thing off my parents' house). I could totally grab one – or six... I don’t know.
I'm too far into my mind right now. I’m going to bed before I do something stupid. Goodnight all! Be safe and stay warm tonight. Day 12 is over for me. Will check in tomorrow.
Thank you all for the well wishes and keeping me distracted for a good part of the night.

I'm going to try to go to bed now too. I am afraid of what I am going to find in the morning.

Sleep well, Wicket. It's going to feel great to wake up hangover-free in the morning.

Congrats on 12 sober days. Keep on, Wicket. The beer in your Dad's frig (or anyone else's) isn't worth it.
