So basically the whole county is shut down. Bad ice, unusually heavy snow, freezing rains, nasty temps. Got the pantry filled ahead of time, got new heater wires on the plumbing, replaced the hot lamp bulb, got plenty of wood. There's no mail, no UPS, no garbage and definitely no running to the store. I managed to get to the dump in a gap in the weather, and it shut again.
It's not as bad as it was in California, no feet of snow to shovel or chain restrictions. But it is definitely more isolated. Ah, the joys of mountain living.
