Good morning world. How are you this fine Tuesday morning? The big snowstorm didn’t leave as much as anticipated, from what I can see from my window. It rained last night and that definitely changed things. Cars are easily going down the road However that little snow and ice doesn’t work well for me. Power wheelchairs don’t like those conditions much. My handicap van ramp likes it even less. When I first got my van I opened the ramp by…
Look, I’m getting my snowstorm. Unfortunately, it’s not a blanket of white because plows already came through but it’s still snowing hard. The expectation is a total snow accumulation of 8-12 inches. I thought it would be more because it actually started around 8 last night. The wind was howling too. I should know I’ve been up a majority of the evening. My Sakara food delivery comes every Sunday night between 12-6am. Since I’m in a gated condo, I always…
An uneventful snowfall, as they said it would be, for my area. Not the blanket I was hoping to wake up to but pretty I guess. I was watching this car for a bit as it’s tires kept spinning. He was unable to find traction to get out of the lot. o I learned the hard way that the same traction need holds true for wheelchairs. Any snow or worse ice and my wheelchair can easily get stuck. A patch…
Well the major snowstorm that is going to pound the northeast is going to leave significantly less on part of Long Island. I’m located in that part. We should only see 3-5 inches by the end. We will get the sleet mixed with rain making for a more snowy mess than a beautiful snowy blanket. Oh well. I still haven’t had my aide so it’s been just me holding my own. I’m doing ok. I of course haven’t been able…
My daughter went back to school yesterday. She took the train back. A normally uneventful trip that became an extremely horrendous night because she was traveling back into a snowstorm. Her school is only about 3-3 1/2 hours away from where we live yet the weather can be drastically different. She doesn’t go to school up a mountain but it is further into New York State than Long Island where I am. The snowstorm, which we were following, was starting…
A storm was coming expecting snowfalls of 4-8 inches. I was excited to have at least one snow storm this winter even though it housebounds me. It is very hard to navigate outside with mounds of snow and ice. It is hard to walk if you actually have balance, which I do not. No walker in the world will assist me on snow and ice. My scooter also can prove difficult. It’s like being stuck in the mud in the…
I went to get my nails done yesterday and was so happy seeing a few snowflakes. I wasn’t so happy an hour later when my car was covered and the streets were covered in this wet heavy snow. It came down super fast. In that hour a few inches had fallen and was continuing to fall. I now had to drive home. Wasn’t the greatest ride home. Took me about 20 to make a 7 minute drive. This morning I…
