    Ugh... 5 hours of shoveling, but I'm done! DH cleared the lane with our backhoe since as previous photo shows our plow wasn't ready for this storm. DH and I both breathed a sigh of relief when the backhoe started. It's not a fan of winter either! I am going to be SO sore tomorrow. I promise, these are my last snow pics!

    Love the castle effect on the fence!

    Hydrants are frozen. Should have had the heat tape on before now. Carrying water to the barn is oh so fun.

    During the 96 blizzard - when I finally ventured out to my car (with no shovel as I'd lived in Mississippi for years and then was in an apartment) to see what I could do to get it out, some idiot was shoveling out his car, and piling all the snow he was moving, right in the back of my car. I was livid. I lost it on him. He was such a total arse. Now I was even more doomed without a shovel (and of course there were none to be bought in all the DC area) and stranded in my car parking spot now with about 6 feet of snow. Well the beauty of my tiny little subaru, when the idiot got his car out, I was able to maneuver my little car back and forth and back and forth and back and forth - until I was out of the spot - then I promptly moved it into the spot he had cleared. That being snow behavior that is very much unacceptable under most circumstances - I learned very good snow etiquette growing up in Pittsburgh. But this moron was not deserving of my good behavior.

    Ugh.

    I did that a bit with my subaru today.

    Then I kept seeing little green/yellow spots in the snow.

    Since I haven't been peeing in the snow, I think it's leaking some antifreeze from somewhere. Maybe I knocked the radiator hose loose. I keep looking under there and not seeing anything though.

    Uh-oh. I saw one little yellow spot but just assumed it was from an animal.
