Snow, Snow and More Snow…

Just when I thought we might be out of the woods for a bit… more snow. The weather reporters were calling for 7-14″. I think (thankfully) we got the lower-end of that estimate added to the accumulation already on the ground, which is still more than enough!

I got all Carhartt-ed up and snow blowed early this afternoon. I was halfway done when our neighbor came to the rescue with his snow plow. (Have I mentioned we have fantastic neighbors?)

I finished up alongside the house and did our sidewalks, but I left the heavy stuff to the neighbor’s plow truck. He got us scraped down pretty close to the pavement, so we’re ready for the next storm now. (Sigh.) I also made some paths through the yard to our outbuildings. Our back-garage (a pole-building type structure) is falling in from the weight of the snow. It’s been in need of repair for years, long before we moved here, but it’s definitely looking like that will be on the to-do list THIS summer.

It’s been a rough winter. As for Valentine’s Day today… we’re staying in and enjoying a Harry Potter marathon, homemade burritos for dinner, and then snacks and hot cocoa later.

Tomorrow’s high temperature is -2°F and the low is supposed to be -15°F. I’m planning to stay indoors and make some soup. Hope y’all are staying safe and warm too!
