OK – Enough Snow Already!

OK, shoveling three times a day, every other day is finally wearing me out!  Let’s take today for instance.  Had to shovel/snow blow yesterday morning to get rid of the 6″ from the night before. Then, it snowed a little off and on all yesterday, and a little last night.  

So, up this morning and shoveled off half the driveway and what the plow had pushed into the entrance.  Then, went inside and decided to wait until after lunch to finish.  But, 2″ more fell before lunch and then the snow plow came through to ‘top off’ the snowbanks! That put a WHOLE lot of snow around the mailbox and my sister-in-laws next door.

Well, that means, out with the snow blower again.  So, I decided to do the whole thing and get it finished up.  Well, got done, was standing out there, and here comes the snow plow again!  Not that he pushed a lot into the driveways, but darn, had to do it all again!  Here are the latest pictures…

And yes, I’ve got to do that sequence of images from before the snow, through the progression of snow climbing ever higher and higher :-)

It’s winter in Upstate New York
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below. 

Oh, how I love Upstate New York
When the snow’s up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut. 

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I’ll hang around
I could never leave Upstate New York
‘Cause I’m frozen to the ground!’
