The Snow of 2013
Well, it seems that this year has started with quite a bang. Usually, we only have to shovel snow a few time during the winter, but this past week has been exceptional. On Monday, it snowed non-stop all day and I had to shovel 4 times, just to keep up. Yes, I could wait until it stops, but then I would have to shovel MUCH MORE snow AND it would be much harder to do. Also, I don't mind the work and I like the exercise...it sure beats using the Nordic Track!! On Thursday, I had to shovel once (my wife shoveled when she got home, since I injured my arm a few days ago). They even had to cancel school, SNOW DAY, which I know the kids loved. On Friday, I ended-up shoveling twice. In total, we had close to 8 inches, if not more, since Monday.
Anyway, here's a photo my wife took at the VA Medical Center that will show you how much we got on Monday...

From today for the next week, we are expecting highs in the lower 20's and lows near 3 and below.
Stay warm, everyone!!

Snow Day
Actually, for the first time in many years, the schools closed for the day (Wednesday). Anyhow, here are the rest of the snow pictures that I took. We had roughly 7+ inches on the ground and when I went out to shovel it (we don't have a snow blower, since it is rare we get this much snow at one time), I quickly discovered that it was a wet, slushy-type of snow; that means more work. Heavy work. Not a good thing, especially for someone lazy like me.
Well, as I said, when I went outside to shovel, I saw out neighbor already shoveling our section of the frontage road. When I got closer, I saw why: he couldn't get his truck onto it. So, the fun began. Together, we were able to shovel to his house and then onto ours. In the process, I helped dig his wife's car out of the snow and he kindly dug a path up our driveway to our garage. In all, it took a total of just over three hours (including breaks) to finish (with an hour and a half just for our driveway). Oh, and so I can have an excuse to include a shameless plug, if you have not seen the photos from the previous evening, you can see them here in the post titled, Let it Snow...Let it Snow...Let it Snow Now, onto the show...
