I just waded through HIP DEEP snow to get to my chickens, then had to dig for 20 minutes to open their door. They're fine, just annoyed, and still laying!
By the time I wallowed back to the house, my footsteps were already mostly filled up with new snow.
Alex took the opportunity to escape as the snow prevented the front door from completely closing. I grabbed him and stuffed him back in before he could attempt to catwalk over a drift.
Photos to come. Later. I didn't take my phone as I was afraid of losing it in a snowdrift.
Snow piling up on my deck to an alarming degree, approaching the railings, and still coming down hard. I can't get on it due to snow blocking both entrances (which both open inward onto the deck) but it's approaching danger levels to I'm going to see if I can get over the gate with a stepladder. I can't get anyone to come shovel for me as they're all snowed in as well.
I have three days' worth of coffee left.
ETA: I just got in from shoveling the deck. I got maybe 1/3 of it shoveled down to about 1 1/2 - 2 feet of snow. I'm taking a break and going back out soon.
So much for "I shall cozily drink hot chocolate and get lots of writing done!"
ETA 2: RimEverything Facebook page is lit today: Is there someone on this miserable frozen hellsacape of a mountain that wants to make some cash tomorrow? Someone with a 4 wheel drive and chains? Someone that can drive said vehicle down some roads to the bottom of the hill?
(No. There is not. All roads off the mountain are closed.)
ETA 3: There is like 3.5' of snow on my chicken run roof. Guess I'll swim out there, take the stepladder out of the shed, and shovel some off.
The deck is still buried in snow.
RimEverything is full of people begging for help shoveling snow but no one can go anywhere.
I can't believe I still have power and internet! It's a miracle.

LOLOLOLOL.
A neighbor called and pointed out that I should take my phone when I go outside in case I slip. (It's not slippery but her general point stands.) I shall safety pin it into my coat pocket.
