Shoveling Away

We got a total of 10.9 inches of snow. It reached over my snow boots. I shoveled 2 hours before the sun went and it got too cold to do anymore. Finish tomorrow. Neighbor was plowing the street since it take 24 hours after the snow stops to plow my dead end street. He works for the electric company and needs out. They said they started plowing the residence streets today at 3PM. Nice.

News said the malls were closed. I worked in 2 malls and they never close cause when schools and offices close, people go shopping. Manager always refused to close the store if we had 1 customer in the store. We closed when 0 customers appeared within 2 hours, then they closed. One store I worked at complained I was late making me retort that I skidded 3 times getting here and lucky I showed up at all. Grocery stores was busy today. They say stay at home, but some people like me working at a hotel don't get that option. When worked at a car rental, no weather closed us down and I once was picked up to work since my car was buried behind a snow pile pile and I didn't have time to dig it out. I don't think my mail carrier came either since no boot prints in the yard.

My ferrets would have loved this thick, heavy snow tall enough to build snow tunnels. But they are in heaven now. Bless them.
