The blizzard and the counselor

Here in the Northern climes we got hit this weekend with a good dumping snow storm. It started with rain early Saturday, then turned to snow. Estimates are that we have received at least 10", with 10" more expected today. Everything shut down in Flag, except NAU. We kept up on our snow removal efforts around the house and made sure that the car was dug out before we went to bed last night, as I had a 7am appointment (my first) with the credit counselor.
When I awoke at 5:30am, the reflection from the snow through my window indicated that we had received a bunch more snow overnight. Trying to let the dog out to go potty, there was a good 8" piled on the back steps- no walkways were visible, etc. I went to rouse Luke to begin digging us out. He did a good job, and I was able to get out to the street for my trip across town.
The trip across town was an adventure, but the main drags were well plowed. I located the building I needed to go to, but had to wait for the snowplow to clear the lot so that I could park. I was amazed to see that the office was open and the lights were on- I had checked both my office and cell phone voicemail to see if the appointment was cancelled before leaving home, but I half expected that no one would be there due to the weather. I was heartened to see that I could at last get going on this.
