We haven’t left the house for six and a half days. We were only snowed in for three but it hasn’t been warmer than minus ten since the storm. The people in town dug themselves out in a day, but town people are like that; always wanting to get somewhere else. In the country, you start getting strategic: how often do we have to go start the truck to keep the battery working, whose bad knee or incipient cough excuses them from having a take a turn.
