There, I've said it. The fire alarm went off, then the carbon monoxide alarm went off, and then I noticed a gassy, sweet smell coming from the furnace. It took around five minutes to notice that the furnace wasn't working. So, my dad, who is arthritic and not in the best of shape, decides to go out on his own to rescue the furnace pipe. It was buried in the snow. The pipe was completely covered. The snow was up to my waist, and it took me and my mum to carve a path out. Finally after twenty minutes, we reached it. It was hard work. Getting back was worse because my dad had to literally crawl back into the house. In the morning we're going back to clean the pipe out .... *sigh*
This snow is insane. The drifts are literally covering the front porch from the lawn, the snowdrifts are ten feet high, and everything is shut down. Church has been canceled because of a no parking bylaw. We've been snowed in.
The number on the monoxide meter is going down fast. But it kind of freaks me out still .... What if the meter wasn't working? what if our power went off? What if someone was stuck in the snow and we needed an ambulance? Our street is so narrow only one car can pass through.
That's it, I'm totally ready for Spring.
