Blizzard from Hell

Boy, did I ever blog too soon! 14 inches and counting and yours truly had to work in this slop all day. Here is how my day unfolded:

8am - Kicking and screaming I'm unable to start my electric snow blower.
9am - Resort to shoveling out 2 lane driveway while obnoxious city plows dump more at the foot of my driveway.
10am - Driving 20mph I arrive at my destination; SUNY Albany College to shoot a PSA for Governor Eliot Spitzer.
11pm - Drag 300 pounds of equipment through 2 feet of snow, up 2 flights of stairs, down a long hallway and set up.
12pm - Oh SHIT! I forgot my lithium batteries to power the camera!
1pm - Back to my home office still fighting blizzard conditions and unplowed roads.
2pm- Get stuck 3 times on SUNY campus. Must get out of the car and hand dig myself out. Nobody around to help.
3pm- Students refuse to leave their dorms because of the weather. A heavy dose of guilt by cell phone provokes a few.
4pm - Finish shooting. Pack up and prepare my car.
4:30pm - Beg a custodian to help carry my 100 pound Arri Light Kit as well as 2 hired hands to plow me a path to get to my car.
5:00pm - Dreading coming home to a driveway that needs shoveling again....but, alas, my very favorite neighbor and his power blower have done it for me.

Thank God for wonderful neighbors!
