Happy Monday Everybody!!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. The Lad and I went on a very cold jaunt out of town for the weekend, and I'm sleeping in today as I'm off..... and staying warm in the bed. It went down to -2 last night, so yours truly even slept with his Calvin's on last night, which is unheard of. Today's Monday moments are compliments of my dear blog reader and friend Pearl Gates. Pearly as I call her, hails from Provincetown. We have met three times now when I go up to P-Town. This fierce queen sent me an email with photos from the current blizzard. The poor thing went without power for almost a day in these unbearably cold temps, but has been restored now. I have the feeling she hasn't visited the Dick Dock lately. Let's all send Pearl some warm lovin kisses!!! From Pearl.....
"With the tremendous drifts of four and five feet and more around town, it's pretty hard to say how much snow we really got. Many on my street and even down Commercial Street, had all the snow blown up onto the patios and formed chest-high drifts, leaving residents and some businesses unable to open the front or back doors to the building. They had to wait for someone to come and shovel them out, as did thousands cape wide. In the meantime, I was waiting for the power to come back on, which we loss on Friday evening, along with about 97% of Provincetown residents whose electricity had gone out during the storm. Provincetown's power began coming back on within about 13 hours, and most of the town's electricity seemed to have been restored relatively quickly, given the severe winds of this very powerful storm, which may turn out to be one for the books. I've been all over the internet since ,trying to find an exact snow total for Provincetown in the "Blizzard of 2015," but "total unavailable" is all I can find. We do know that snowfall from this fierce storm broke a record or two in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Blowing and drifting snows in the coastal areas are much harder to measure than depths in towns farther inland. The devil is in the tremendous drifts whipped up by winds that officially gusted to 75 miles per hour here at the Cape's tip. I spoke to a dispatcher at the Provincetown Police Department who gave the opinion of a two-and-a-half, but even at that, many of us are still digging out through several feet of drifted snow. I am now just glad to be reading the Casa going on's Mistress. Do you have room for another one there???? This weather is wrecking havoc on my wigs""
Pearl's neighbors house!!!!!! Where in hell do they put the snow?!?!?!?
The back of Pearl Gates' house......
This is the house the Mistress usually stays in. Pearl says it's almost buried!!!!
Hard to believe this is the same beach locale and one of my summertime playgrounds.
The East Coast....the new Arctic! Hang in the Pearl!
ReplyDeleteI feel as though we will all be in igloos soon!
DeleteWow, the East Coast is just getting hammered this winter -- and not in a good way!
ReplyDeleteThis cold snap make me want a couple cozies to keep thing warm.
DeleteI could knit you a few cock cozies, but I don't think there is enough yarn in the world to make one THAT big!
DeleteDear gawd!! stay warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteI love the East Coast but this, this is why a remain hesitant. Poor pearl and Ptown. No dick dock?
ReplyDeleteFor the rest of us that's like no air.
DeleteI hope you had a lovely time regardless of the temperatures and snow!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great weekend, and the friction and lovely room kept us warm!!!
DeleteMy heart goes out to Pearl. I couldn't deal with that. I'd be claustrophobic!
ReplyDeleteSnow maze anyone???
DeleteOh wow! We would freak out over here if we had only a fourth of that snow.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I shouldn't mention it was 88 degrees yesterday where I'm at?
Nothing like some salt in the wound.
DeleteBrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteYikes! And I though it was bad in DC.
ReplyDeleteWow. Cold and buried in snow! Stay warm and safe. Great pics Pearl! :)
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing this I will never complain about our weather here in Philly. Take care Pearl.
ReplyDeleteCheers to that tootes.
DeleteThank you everyone for well wishes. I has been very bitterly cold here today and unfortunately I hear maybe another storm is acoming!!! Its just nice to have the internet back. But Mistress, you'll be happy to know some fool down at dick dock got his tongue stuck to a pole down there.........
ReplyDeleteWell stay warm and sound. Shall I send up some houseboys for the additional heat? And I thought Cali Boi was on the west coast. Be careful with his tongue, I hear its insured.
DeleteI can handle a few inches, but that ridiculous. Wouldn't even know Ptown from these.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you won't take one for the team?
Deleteso nothing came between you and your calvins, mistress? ;-b
ReplyDeleteOMB, ms. pearly, that looks horrible! my claustrophobia would kick in big time walking between those snow walls! please keep yourself warm!
That's funny, I always remember Pearly being a size queen when it came to inches?
ReplyDeleteIt appears as if I'm in good company!!! Looks very much the same here in Ann Arbor, and we had another last night, remnants from the storm below us. Its definitely been a cold one this year. And take care Pearly!!!!
