We’re still stuck.

The information deadlines keep getting moved back. There will be a new assessment at 1pm in 3 hours time. We’ve been surrounded by the deep booms of explosions this morning as they have tried to dislodge the snow masses that are threatening us with avalanches and keeping the road closed and the trains not running. The snow has stopped falling and the sky is almost blue. More snow is forecast to start in the afternoon and carry on for several days, so we’re just hoping that we can take advantage of a small window of opportunity later today.

I really want to go home.

Being snowed in sounds so romantic – and actually I think if it was just me and my husband it would be, but not with 5 teenagers, some of whom have a tendency to be recalcitrant and uncooperative at the best of times. So far they’ve kept themselves busy with board games and digging out my Mini, which was under several feet of snow, but really the flat is way too small for 7 people and a cat. The kids of course would like to be snowed in forever – or at least until after Monday, when school starts again!

But you know me….I need time on my own…and it’s been a while….

I’ll let you know what happens, but as for now I’m busying the slaves to pack and clean so that if by any chance we can leave, we’ll be ready.

Greetings from a winter wonderland,

Helen
