Trapped

Trapped in snow since Thursday. The snow hasn't been that heavy actually (if seen from the Michigan perspective), but the problem is there doesn't seem to be any snow-removing cars here at all. Most of the towns in the area have become big ice-rinks, and driving in our old t-w-d cedan proved to be extremely risky.

For Eugene, the first excitement with the snow faded quickly, and all that's left about this weather is an endless boredom. Indeed, white can be such a monotonous color, isn't it; plus the trail we usually took to the ducks by the river has been completely snow-blocked--who else can we visit? On the top of all that, he caught a cold yesterday. Ugh, the stay at home is such a funless thing!
