Static...
If you are reading this then it has happened...
Began yesterday...
precariously made my way home, fearing capture less than the thought of what could be worse...
home now...
under siege...
already communications have been cut off...
no Internet until we can reach the outside world again...
forces are amassing for a final reckoning...
static...
Cryptologist Analysis: received 14 inches of snow in the last 15 hours. Supposed to snow the rest of the day. No Internet at house, so will catch up when we dig out. Snowball fight to ensue.

I hope you get dug out! That snow is coming this waym, but I hear that we will only get a little of it. (Maine)
I have been browsing through your posts. You are a very talented writer! I've seen your comments on other people's blogs, but this is the first time I have visited. I'm sure I will be back.
Oh dear!! Stay warm and enjoy that snowball fight!
Hugs

wow. i'm actually envious. when i was a little girl my brothers and sisters and i would build forts and ice them over in the backyard, big enough to crawl and hide in - one at each end of the garden and we'd amass our weaponry in little snowy balls within each fort, popping our heads out of them just enough to aim and throw at "the enemy" down the yard. fun fun FUN! i think it's wonderful to be snowed in - ENJOY it!
OMG The isolation! Can I come over! I love isolation! haha. Happy shoveling.
Holy Snowballs, Batman! That's a LOT of snow! Have fun!
Remember! Walking in my winter underwear! Share it with your kids!
My first thought was.. "oh no!" But then I realized it can only mean more family time. Enjoy it. :)
I am watching your dilemma on the news! We get snow like that all during the winter up here, but the infrastructure is built to handle it. ha
I feel your pain about no computer/internet...my main computer is in the shop and I am praying I didn't lose a bunch of my photography with it!! I have my photos on that one and not all were backed up yet. YIKES! I am using my laptop to communicate with the world, so I hope we are both back to normal soon! Hang in there!
Keep warm, Brian! Try to enjoy it.
Enjoy the snowy break! It's a beautiful excuse to relax - inbetween shoveling and snowball fights, of course.
Oh goodness! Funny post! We had 12 inches + blizzard conditions for several days last week. (by Omaha Ne) and in a way, I kind of like to be snowed it. We made soup, decorated some more for Christmas, played games, ate more meals together. Hope this is an uneventful storm for you!
And this is why Her Majesty lives in TEXAS. It has not been verified by a medical professional, but I do watch shows with people who play them. I am allergic, deathly allergic to SNOW! I feel bad for my wee little Macs when they pray for Satan's Dandruff, because I want them to be happy, but I pray even harder that it NEVER happens. How do you live isolated WITHOUT the Internet. Please don't tell me your cable is out, too! Hang in there and be brave! :) Lisa
Hope to see ya on the other side!
It's nice to see you have kept your sense of humor! We were expecting more but it looks like you got our share. Stay safe, stay warm.
Namaste
Enjoy the togetherness. Are your mom and dad still there? Sounds like you are taking this like you take all else in life, go with the flow and make the best of what life brings. I admire your attitude.
Snow day! Love it! Sit back, relax and enjoy the day!
We are not getting your storm up here - looks like quite a blizzard. A children's (and dad's) wonderland. Enjoy! Hope snow is sticky enough for a big snowman.
Ahh enjoy it. We all seem to be getting snow at the same time. Could it be some kind of reaction to Copenhagen?
Please, whatever you do, do not consume the yellowish particulate. Over and out ...
Remember when you were jealous of our snow? LOL!!
Enjoy the snowball fights!
Smiles.
G.E.M.
Snowball fight! What fun! I will watch from my window as I snuggle beneath quilts and sip hot chocolate.
Wow. Perfection. I love your writing style! Simple and Right to the point.
betcha already wish you had your Christmas present... (hint...the lump of coal... ;-)) Merry Christmas my Friend hope you and Yours have Merry one and a Blessed New Year too!!
snowball fight??? how delightful!!!
Haha, let's all know how the snowball wars turn out when you've dug out.
Did I hear anyone say snowball fight? Quick... duck!
Aaaah, GOTCHA!
Ciao and enjoy the cyber-free weekend, friend.

It is funny and tragic at the same time, I like it, I was about to tell you to remember when there was not even phones to talk trough. But I guess you already thought about it.
cheer and bye
Force isolation. Snow. Playtime. Off the grid. Just so long as you stay warm, I'd call that paradise!
Ooooh, I love a good puzzle. Crypto is big fun. Good luck digging out. Stay warm.
alright! Being snowed in is the best :-) Being without internet...not so great. I know you'll think of some creative fun. :-)
Just last week you were lamenting that Sven, the Snow God hadn't visited.
Told ya that guy was sneaky!
May the Snowbound Gods be with you!
Sounds like fun!
I am jealous, I grew up in upstate New York, and I live in New Orleans now. I miss the days where it would snow until you couldn't see anything and you had no choice but to go outside and build snow forts and igloos.
Your wish for snow came true! See, I told you to be careful what you wish for.
Enjoy, and the snowball fight sounds like FUN!
you don't have trained animals who can do Whole Foods and 7-11 runs for you??
Sheesh....
Enjoy the forced peace!
your mission if you choose to accept it...
sledding.
snow angels.
ice skating.
fort building.
do it all and make some great memories!
Have a great time!
Enjoy the fun family time! I love being snowed in. And I love snowball fights. Hope all of you have fun and no one gets hurt. :)
I can't believe I knew you were talking about the snow. I'm so usually not onboard with your incredible insightful imaginative and artistic expressions. Takes me a while. Sometimes I need help by reading the comments of your smart Followers. But sooner or later, I get it.
Yay for moi.
PS: It was colder than a witch's teat here too. Just so you know...
Hope you have a snow blower!!! We were supposed to get a couple of inches but just got some dusting. Have to say I'm happy about that!!! Enjoy the isolation, play in the snow and make some great moments to remember!
Hot chocolate. . . LOTS of hot chocolate!!! OH, don't forget the marshmallows!!!
You make snow sound fun. Still, I'm happy to live in the land of no snow.
Merry Christmas!
Wow. That's a lot of snow. We got a little bit here, but def not snowed in.
Ho Ho Ho, tis the season...
We've gotten about the same amount of snow here, too - still snowing and have had intermittent internet. I've shoveled so much snow today I'm going to sleep like a log tonight! :)
Hope you get reconnected soon! But not until after you've had more than enough snow ball fights... ;)
Hi Brian:)
I am one of those who is scared of snow. We never have snow here. But we have other man made problems and internet goes out of order quite often.
At present I am listening to Jim Reeves song-
EVERY WHERE YOU GO SUNSHINE FOLLOWS YOU,
EVERY WHERE YOU GO THE SKIES ARE ALWAYS BLUE,
AND THE WHOLE WORLD SAYS "HELLO"
How ironical isn't it at a time of the year like this in your part of the world. In the place where I live this song is perfectly true.
I hope you will best make use of the time with your family. I hope the snow will clear before Christmas so that your can have lovely celebrations.
I know without internet you are like a fish out of water but I think God wants you to take some rest with your family at this time of the year when the whole world celebrates the birth of our Savior.
I take this opportunity to wish you and your wonderful family a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR:)
Joseph
It might make your life difficult but for me, being in a part of the world where it has never snowed, that sounds like real fun!
Snow Ball Fight! Definitely more fun than internet. Have A BALL with the boys.
Yeah but won't the skiers be going nuts in th' Poconos, heh, heh...
Mom said she noticed the snow start up round 12.30AM; and right now it's blowing horizontal!! Take care and stay warm ;)
Fa la la la la rather you than me. I am all for a sightly slushy but not deep snow Christmas.
But do stay safe.
My worst nightmare!!
CJ xx
Enjoy the snow, perhaps it will be White Christmas for you after all.;)
Zuzana
LOL lovely, how fun this is lol I know the feeling ;)
Stay Warm My Friend.
Brian,
Try to stay warm!!
The Bach
what a sweet
weekend treat!
have fun in the snow.
snowball fight!!!!! Yay!
Good to find fun in the snow!!!
It looks scary to me! Hope everything clears up; but not until you're all tuckered out of snoball wars and snowangels dances.
Warm wishes for a safe and joyful Christmas.
Hope you have enough food in the house to survive for a while! That is serious snowing!
Nuts in May
I wouldn't mind being snowed in frankly. At least for the next three days until the holidays start! Enjoy your cold play! Mind you, no internet would be a bummer.
Hey...send some of that snow my way!! :) Be safe!
PS I'm up for a snowball fight if you are! :D
Wow, have fun in the snow. Lots of hot chocolate with marshmallows is called for.
good one!
Don't go through withdrawl
Ha!
Sunday 160 is up
Snowball fights? Dude, it could be worse. ;-)
i hope you win
the fate of the free world rests squarely on your shoulders
Now I see this post,there's obviously more snow where you are than here,but I don't know if you heard all the north of France has been covered of snow,suspending traffic and a big mess in the Eurostar!They stay stuck in the tunnel!Can you believe?
Happy Winter to you and your loved ones, Brian! Petra :))
I'm late getting here too! I had no time to sit at a computer this weekend! Hope you guys have shoveled your way out and if you haven't, I hope you guys have enough supplies to make it through!
We didn't lose communication to outside world. However, entire neighborhood of kids been living in my house last few days. LET. ME. OUT.!!!!!
euh...no internet in the house, dug in and yet there is a post?
are you messing with your posting dates :p
Oh man, that's a lot of snow! And no internet-- That's torture :-)

You really got a bunch of snow! We only got about 3 inches and it melted pretty quickly. My brother lives in VA and still doesn't have electricity. He has been without water for the last 4 days, too.
