Only in New England...

We got close to 20" of snow here in western Massachusetts.
We spent hours shoveling and plowing out even though it was mostly powder with a thin crust of sleet on top.

Enough already- bring on the daffodils!!!!!! (And cycling)

Here's what to do when you have that much snow:

Not on this snow. It's like cement on top. Doing what that guy did, you'd take lots of speed but the landing would break bones and cause concussions.

heh, yes, I have 8 inches of bulletproof snow on my deck. My husband yesterday came in and said something like "Remember when you were a kid and could walk on the snow? Well I can walk on the snow." (without breaking the surface)

At least it is supposed to warm up again soon. And spring is only 2 days away!

We went skiing at Pico on Saturday and ended up looking like glazed donuts - covered head to toe in a layer of ice. I was all excited to see the temps this morning, but then watched the newscast and saw that we are supposed to be below zero tonight.

I'm with you, Shefly, I had come to terms with winter being over and looking forward to consistent riding and now this. With ice. On the other hand, Hubby went skiing at Bolton yesterday and said it was the best skiing that he had in VT all year- Some places didn't get that ice coating-

Come on Spring, I know you can do it! Come on!!!! Although I love winter, I'm just ready to get on my bike more consistently.

Well with absolute minimal shoveling (a little at the end of the driveway where there's a slight incline and I couldn't make it up it in the snow) it's all starting to melt! I could actually see pavement in spots I had driven over that had been ice the last few days.

I'm never shoveling again...

There was a time I though that global warming might solve the shoveling problem, but I had to give up on it when the snow stayed around for months. With March snows, on the other hand, one can truly hope.
