No, no -- I understand that you're not equipped the way we New Engalnders are for general snow removal, but I was surprised to see you put that you couldn't get out your door. (Which I took as a somewhat literal comment.) So I was confused by how much snow it would take to make you (quite literally) housebound. Even with the amount of snow we currently have here, it's relatively powdery at the moment, so a door can just it aside without too much trouble. (It should be fine until we getting the sleet later on to coat the snow, which will make it much heavier and harder to shift.)8 inches is a fairly respectable amount of snow for a southern state. Hopefully it'll melt quickly for you guys.

Well, the snow here’s fairly hard, so we literally can’t get the door open even though there isn’t much blocking it.
