Eighteen inches in one long session, that is how much snow we had at the farm. For once the forecast was accurate; snow was to begin at six on Friday, stop at some time late evening, then begin again and continue all the next day, and that is exactly what happened. We went to bed with the snow falling and we woke up to snow falling, and it snowed all day, until six. It was beautiful and we were stuck in a nice safe place.
Friday with the forecast of snow, we packed up the car for Mississippi and we stayed in the old farm house which is on the bottom of the hill closer to the barns and sheds. It is a charming old house and we have left us a bedroom and small number of clothes and personal objects just in case we could not get to the house on the top of the house. In Hancock on the way up we purchased food supplies to stock the pantry so we were ready for all emergencies and feeling smug. We knew Alan or Bryan would not plough our driveway until the snow stopped, so we knew we were in for the duration. It was a lovely day. I stayed in my nightshirt all day, reading, organizing closets and eating.
Only one difficulty; our cell phones do not work at the farm house and the computer is in the Hill House. We were without any means of communication with the outside world. This morning while we were eating breakfast Alan came up the long driveway and ploughed us out, right up to the Hill House. The scene here is beautiful but I am pleased to get around once again!! Now we know why we have two houses at the farm, one when it snows and one when the weather is fine. We are very lucky people.
