Does 25 inches of snow equal creative abandon?



The snowstorm/blizzard arrived yesterday. By dark there was already 15 inches on the ground. The University closed at noon on Monday and the drive home was nothing short of interesting - a moronic driver in a gigantic Ford tried to go flying by us on Route 66 and ended up going diagonally down the middle of two lanes just in front of us for about 500 yards - Wacko! This morning we awoke to 25 inches - it's really beautiful and I'm very glad i don't have to try and get anywhere. The sun is brilliant, but the wind is typical-insane-Northern Arizona-nothing-to-stop-it wind...so both I-17 south and I-40 west are closed.

Does this time of being snowed-in mean I will turn my attention to creative abandon? Can I take some snippets while the new puppy, Ruby, naps to write - Gehrke calls??? We shall see...in the meantime, it's gorgeous albeit blinding!
