Delaware As The Frozen Tundra |
Greetings from the frozen tundra of Delaware! I sincerely hope you're keeping warm if you're in the middle of this freezing weather.
January was quite the month - my future son-in-law was in a terrible car accident and has been in ICU healing amidst the multiple surgeries he's had to have. A genuine nightmare situation but I think we're past the worst of it and, as I write this on February 2nd, we've got one more surgery to get through and then on to the recovery/rehabilitation stage. Thank God.
Then there is the weather situation.
A massive snowstorm came through the east coast on 1/25. We went up to NJ to stay with my daughter so she wasn't alone through it since her fiance is in the hospital.
I don't usually mind snow too much. I like when it snows a couple of inches, just enough to make things pretty.
This was not that kind of snowstorm.
It wasn't the pretty kind, it was the scary kind. For one, it was bitter cold. For two, it snowed heavily and then changed to freezing rain. Hours of freezing rain. My anxiety went through the roof because I'm severely claustrophobic and being stuck in an apartment with no chance of leaving badly triggers my need to escape. For example, I once left the house and drove off in the middle of a tornado on the ground very close by because I was afraid of the house being hit and getting trapped inside. I am aware of how foolish that was. Phobias mean the absence of logical thinking.
