I thought I'd share pictures of our first big snow of the season. I define a "big" snow as one that I have to shovel. We've had other storms, but none were more than about 8" so I was able to just drive over the snow and smash it down rather than shoveling. The latest storm started on Sunday and finished up yesterday, leaving behind about 18" of snow. Here's what it looked like out the back door:
And out the front:
I start my shoveling on the front porch. Here it is halfway done with Lance sitting next to the snow to try to give it some scale:
Then I head out the walk to the gate:
When I get to the gate, I get to see what's still ahead of me:
The road is way down on the left side of the photo. But another hour or so of work gives me a nice, clear driveway:
I actually really enjoy these snows. It's a bit of work to get the driveway clear, but it's beautiful outside while you're doing it and it's so quite and peaceful. We're supposed to get some pretty big dumps this spring, so we'll see what tune I'm singing after shoveling a multi-foot snowfall....

Eighteen inches a lot of snow! It is beautiful! Lance is a wonderful model; please give him a good ear scratch for putting up with your pose requests! :) I can't imagine having to shovel so much snow! You are strong!!!!!--Terry
ReplyDeleteLuckily I come from good farm stock. And I have Lance to keep me company while I work!
DeleteTake my hat off to you. That's a lot of snow you've moved. It looks wonderful though so hope you can continue to enjoy it and not worry about the driving. Lovely Lance!

We had a windy night last night so a lot of it is back again, but not deep enough that I have to shovel again, thankfully! The forecast is looking good for the next week, so we can just enjoy the snow we have now and relax until the next shoveling.....
DeleteI flew over there on Tuesday. It was clear so I guess the snow was over but it sure looked like fresh snow. The trip tacker indicated we cross near Blouder and then down toward Denver. Don't tell me why I have to fly to Atlanta to get to PA. I think of you every time I fly over. Maybe I'll get to Denver someday for a taping. Hope so. Thanks for the pictures. I love the snow too. I missed our big storm and then yesterday after I got home it was raining cats and dogs here. What a waste of a lot of good precipitation. Its good sewing weather either way.
ReplyDeleteYou must have just missed the snow because it ended on Tuesday. I look forward to when you visit!!
