Thar She Blows...

So here I still sit in my office, where I spent the night because my apartment complex sucks when it snows... The snow is still falling a bit, and I had to use the forklift to push open my warehouse door to see what the outside world looks like today... The snow had drifted against the door... 4' against the door... The door opens outwards...
Anyway, the wind is howling outside, and I'm in a double layer sheet steel building... The building flexes a bit as the wind blows against the large flat surface naturally... The mezzanine and office I built in here sit tight up against the inner steel skin, but not tied to it in any way... So the steel moves differently than the wood... The rub and creak, and I swear it sounds like what I imagine one of those old full sailing ships must have sounded like...
The state of emergency should technically be lifted by now, so perhaps the cleanup can really begin... Hell if I know where I'm going to put all the damn snow in the immediate vicinity of my unit. All I have are shovels, and the 20" of snow out there would eat me alive if I tried to move it all by hand... My neighbors are landscapers/snow removal guys, so hopefully one of their crews will wrap up soon and come back to the barn... I could borrow on of their blowers then I imagine...
Why couldn't this crap wait until I'm in Miami on Friday...
