Enough with the snow already

I guess you didn't notice the snow and cold, huh?

Didn't even realize it was snowing outside.

It was a blast for him. He hadn't seen snow like this in 25 years - since he lived in Iowa.

My driveway seems to be filling itself back in with snow. The deck is now chest high with snow.

Snow plows have been told to pull off the roads in Montgomery, Prince Georges and Frederick Counties due to white-out conditions.

Everybody stay home! It's too dangerous to be out in the roads, whether in vehicles or on foot.

I told you there was gonna be a second storm

I'm afraid to go outside for fear Jack Nicholson will be out there chasing me around the yard with an axe.

Owlice, what's going on in that photo? Did the cat freeze to something (like Ralphie's friend)?

It is really blowing out there! I hope I can make it to NC on Friday. At least one of the exits from my garage was mostly cleared after the first snow. I am missing my 4x4. It got me through one snow storm about this bad and one bad ice storm. AWD is nice, but the low gear 4WD was better.

I got my sidewalk down to bare concrete - my driveway, I know my car has all wheel drive, so I wasn't ocd about getting it down to the bare pavement. Especially when I knew the snow plow was going to be coming through and burying everything I dug out repeatedly. There was a couple icy patches, but not really.

Zen, that's the back of a peeing Puddems.

It is scary out there. When the wind started, ice cicles (sp?) took flight and were hurled into the windows. Fiona and Margot were enjoying themselves out back and pointedly ignoring our pleas to come inside until something scared the H out of them. They both promptly ran up to the stoop. Chickens in thick golden fur! Maeve, the elder, promptly did her business and came inside.

Although I'm tempted to go out and start shoveling, it would be an exercise in futility. It's drifting like mad out there. Fortunately, it looks like a light snow this time.

I just finished my second round of shoveling this morning (after one about 9 last night). I have to keep up with it or my front and back doors won't open, and it's easier to lift 6 inches of snow than a foot. The piles on the side of the sidewalk are so high I can hardly throw the snow up there, and of course the wind just blows it back. But for now, the sidewalk, driveway, and deck are clear. Kinda makes me feel useful, and gives me a reason not to start in on my taxes.

I broke my favorite shovel Monday, so how I have to use the POS ergonomic one that doesn't clear down to the pavement as well. I hate that shovel.

This is like Little House on the Prairie.
