Snowed in again

[Crankin]

Spoke, I love Flag in a snowstorm. In fact, there is nothing about your city I don't like! We made a few wintry trips there before I moved to MA, to introduce my kids snow. It was a blast and we got to enjoy 2 blizzards, sledding, and making snowmen.

Yeah, Crankin, it's great until you get another foot during the day (about 4 feet for the week yesterday afternoon, and then it starts to rain! What a mess! Shoveling 2 inches of slush out to the street and onto the pile before it freezes into an ice rink last night was fun; also pushing the water away from the garage to keep it from flooding was good too! We got another foot last night which is still sitting out there waiting for me to shovel - It really is beautiful, but it is getting to be a bit much now. We need to get on the roof pretty soon too, cause the snow is really heavy and wet with the rain we got last night. Had a little leaking in the house too, just minimal so far though.

After all the shoveling, I don't have the energy to go skiing or snow shoeing!

We've gotten the same storm up here. I think we've gotten 4-5 feet this week with more expected today. Luckily they are great about getting the roads clear, so we've been able to get out.

The ski areas are doing major happy dances.

Spoke, what I noticed about AZ is that they are not very aggressive about treating and plowing the roads, like they do here. They just close the roads! But you are right, you've had a lot of snow. Buy a roof rake, so you don't get ice dams. Another lovely side effect of too much snow, melting, and refreezing, although if you have a good roof and insulation, it doesn't happen.
