The forecast had been right, it began to snow just in time for rush hour. Nobody was sure just how much snow was going to fall but all agreed that it would be a big storm. There was a chance of up to a foot of fresh snow on top of the four inches already on the ground.
Ruth was a nervous wreck driving home, she just absolutely hated driving in the snow. She was also worried about her son Jason. She knew he had to work at the gas station till 11:00 p.m. and she wished that somehow he could just get off work and head home. She knew his boss however, and he wouldn't shut down the gas station for anything less than Armageddon.
Ruth is a young looking woman, easily mistaken for being in her mid thirties, ten years less than her actual age, which she wasn't about to reveal to anyone that didn't need to know. She is a natural redhead with big green eyes, has never had a problem with her weight, and her breasts which are 36C's are still just as perky as they were when she was a teen.
Ruth has been divorced for a couple of years now. After a failed marriage and a couple of lousy relationships, she currently has resigned herself to being single and enjoying it. It's not that she wouldn't like to have a man n her life, but she has decided she'd rather be alone than be with the wrong guy. She could always rely on her battery operated friend to take care of her physical needs anyhow.
The drive home from work usually takes Ruth about half an hour, but the way the snow was coming down, it turned into an hour and fifteen minute drive. By the time she hit town, she was exhausted. She decided to stop by the station where Jason works to pick up bread and milk before going the rest of the way home. That way she could at least check on him and make sure everything what alright.
Jason is what you'd commonly refer to as a good kid. He goes to college full time and works part time to help his Mom pay for it. He's a good looking young man, never overbearing, and always willing to lend a hand to someone in need. Ruth has always been very proud of him, and she's always had every right to be.
When he saw her pull into the station he felt relief, he had been trying to call her at the house just to make sure she got home alright and was starting to get quite worried. At least now he could stop worrying and concentrate on his job. He reminded her he'd be working till 11:00 and promised to come straight home after work. You know how mothers worry, but the drive home from the station is only a couple of miles.
By the time Ruth finally made it home, there were almost six fresh inches of snow on the ground. She gave the sidewalk a quick sweeping and finally went inside. She had to call both her Mom and her sister to let them know she'd made it home in one piece and decided to take a nice long hot bath to relax.
She had a nice long soak in the tub then fixed herself some dinner making sure to fix enough for Jason to heat up when he got home. She had barely finished eating when the power went off. The house was pitch black but luckily for her, she loves candles so she was able to quickly get at least a small amount of light. She thought that perhaps she should check the breakers until she looked out the window and saw that the power was off all over the neighborhood. "Oh great!" She thought, "The snow must have knocked down some wires.
Ruth knew there wasn't a thing she could do but wait for the power to come back on. She resigned herself to the fact that this was going to be a very boring evening. She soon nodded off and was awaked by Jason coming in the door. As she looked at her watch and saw it was only 10:00 she started to worry.
"What's wrong Jason? Why are you home so early?" she quickly asked.
"Nothings wrong Mom" he answered, "The power is just out, can't pump any gas without electricity." he added.
Without any power Ruth was unaware that nearly the entire county was without electricity. The snow storm was bad, roads were being closed, power was out, there was nearly a foot of snow already, and it wasn't showing any signs of slowing down.
Ruth got up and heated up the supper she'd left for Jason, "At least we have a gas stove." she thought. She couldn't help but notice that the house was already getting a little chilly. She hadn't thought of it till then, but quickly realized it was probably going to be a very cold night. She knew there was no use in complaining, they'd just have to make the best of a bad situation.
After chatting with Jason for a few minutes Ruth decided she might as well just go to bed. She put on a nice warm sweat suit and crawled under her blankets. Despite the cold and worrying about waking up on time for work in the morning, she quickly drifted off into a nice deep sleep.
Ruth had no way of knowing what time it was, but she was awakened awhile later by Jason. He was gently shaking her shoulder and saying "Mom, wake up, it's really cold in here! It's so cold I think we could freeze to death in here!"
Ruth felt immediately how cold it had become. To think they'd freeze to death was probably a bit extreme, but it was very cold indeed. She knew however, there wasn't much they could do about it. "go get the comforter off of your bed and put it on top of my blankets, then get under here with me" she said. Then adding, "The only thing I can think of is that we'll just have to share our body heat."
Jason wasn't about to argue with her, he went and got the comforter, put it atop her blankets, and snuggled up to her as quickly as he could. The were both shivering at first so they snuggled up close and it worked. Sharing their body heat under the blankets made them comfortable enough to drop off into dream land. The rest of the night passed without incident.
