I know days like that all too well. Stay comfy and warm, and I really hope your power stays on.

Poor you, Sneezie. I don't envy you one bit. That's what we usually look like all winter, but we've been lucky this year and have had very little snow.

I am not far from Sneezie. They said we have 20"
View from my sunroom

It took one tree down. At least I did not have to fight with a contractor. When nature took it down it did not hit the house. Imagine that. One of the trees they took down was beside this one and it hit the house.

That's a lot of snow! Glad it's not here.

I'm already tired of shoveling the stuff.

It looks lovely Aud. I just love to look out on fresh snow especially since I don't run the snowblower anymore, I have live-in help, my son does it for me. Now, though, it's not so pretty. By the driveway and the road it's 'dirty' snow.
Great pics.

It is beautiful to look at....from inside the house! I hated shoveling it but I really hated driving in it. Be careful and don't over-do the shoveling and do be careful if you have to drive.

Well yesterday I was doing the happy dance all day because we were supposed to get some of that stuff also, but it shot off to the east with a cold front. I have never been so happy to have cold air before. Sorry you guys got the brunt of it though. It does look very pretty, but I know all too well the work that goes along with it. Stay warm!

It is beautiful. I'm ready for spring too. With the relatively mild winter we've been having, it's easy to think spring is just around the corner, but I'm afraid we'll still get a blast or two.

My neighbor and his son came over and dug me out. I have a long driveway and my DB is stuck at his house. I moved so he is no longer in walking distance to my house.

The driveway and walkway is clean now.

Yahoo! That's great, Aud. Isn't it nice to have good neighbours?

I hate being snowed in even when I don't need to get out of the driveway. I have a good sized snowblower but am getting too old to operate it.

I have to be able to get to my Mom so I do not like to be snowed in. I have an electric snow shovel that works great if we get our normal snow level. We usually only get 3 - 4" at a time then in a week or two we would get another 3-4. This was unusual.

I have to say that yesterday was one of the lovliest we've had all winter , with very clear skies, somewhat light winds and just "sort of" cold though, and I thought "The calm before the storm" , since we are finally forcast to get a fair amount of this next one comming in today. As usual , I admit,that had we gotten nearly as much as DC and that area got, I'd not have enough groceries to tide me over til the weather allowed a trip to the supermarket once again, and I guess some poor folks are running out of groceries there already, and unable to even get out of their homes and down side streets still burried in snow! Best of luck to everyone facing this newest round of heavy snow today, but our local forcast say only 6 to 10 inches or so, which isn't terriblyi much for our area to deal with!

I really can't believe how the mid Atlantic etc. has been hit with such huge amounts of snow and feel most fortunate that the most recent event only brought my area perhaps six inches of new snow. However I've been happy that roads and sidewalks have been mostly clear of snow an ice all winter here, and now I must deal with the slipping and sliding once again. No right to complain here though considering how much worse the snow could be in this area.
