It snowed a little at Thanksgiving - then it didn't snow for the next two months. Phew! We all said. It's going to be an easy winter, we all said. Idiots! This winter is going down in the record books as one of the worst winters in the history of the world!!!
We've had two major blizzards .......three or four other significant storms........a total of probably 6 or 7 feet of snow. We are looking at another "significant" snowfall again this weekend. We are winter weary!
Our front porch. The wild winds are just blowing things everywhere. It seems like a long time ago that I sat on those chairs in my shorts and bare feet to read my Sunday paper.
Those two mounds are our cars.
Digging mine out....Hubby's is still buried.
The wind was whipping the snow around so badly I couldn't even wear my glasses. During the first blizzard we went out periodically to "keep up with the snow". On the second one, we slept in, relaxed, had some breakfast and went out after the snow stopped. It was much better that way.
It takes the two of us working together 2 or 3 hours to get everything cleared away.
So far our mailbox has been spared from the plow only because Hubby made it "removable" and takes it down before each storm.
Our fire pit is a sad, sad sight. Hubby tries to shovel it out after each storm in the hopes we will get a day warm enough to have a winter campfire. The temperatures, however, have been in the teens or even the negative numbers!
We have some little birds in our shrubs that don't fly south for the winter, but I doubt they want to go bathing in this!
We've kind of given up on our back door. We don't use it anyway and I think trying to cook on the gas grill would be difficult.
Here's hoping for an early spring!
