Snowed in and bitterly cold

 We had a big snowstorm and now we have a good 8-10" of snow on everything. It will not begin to go away until the weekend because the temperatures are frigid.  Tonight it will be -9F, that is -23C.  Brrrr!  Even with the heating on full blast there is a chill in the air.

We have a parcel out for delivery by USPS but our mailbox is at the end of our driveway which is 1/3 mile long.  I will have to venture out when it is delivered. But at 5.34pm it is still saying out for delivery and the current temperature is 8F or -15C.  If it gets much colder I will not go out tonight.

Our vehicle is parked under the lean-to, which is away from the house so I have to wade through the snow to get to it. It is not crucial to get it tonight. It is too far for an old lady to walk so I go to the mailbox in the car.
