Stuck

Both literally and figuratively.

That's right. As of today I bet we've received about 30 cm of snow since Sunday morning and the -17 temperatures (with wind chill...and windy and chilly it is), are the icing on the cake.

It is frigging freezing here, the roads are terrible and I got stuck twice outside of my condo complex. Two entrances to the complex, two stucks.

THe first time, a newfie and his girlfriend got out to help me and Patricia (a lady who works in communications and who gave me a drive from the site today so I could pick up my rental vehicle). Well, that wasn't enough so about five minutes later a jeep full of guys pulled over and had to push me out on to the road. Ah yes, mission accomplished. So, I drove around the corner and tried to go into the second entrance to the condo complex. Well, I got in, but that was as far as I got. I then got stuck for a second time. This time, a friendly fella came out of the complex and helped. We needed one more guy to finally push me out, though. THis is so brutal.

I said to Patricia: I wanna go home!!!

I don't, but this is bloody ridiculous. I mean, I do, but I don't. You get the drift (pardon the pun!!).

Anyways, as I sit here on the couch looking out my window, I see a bunch of snow on the ground and a bunch of snow still falling from the sky. When is it going to end?

So, to those of you who have said "Fort McMurray isn't so bad": you should really try April in the spring.

Miss you all.

PS - today's brightest spot came when I picked up my rental vehicle: a shiny black Pontiac G6. It's pretty! :)
