Round Two Aftermath

Well it looks like the storm petered out ling before they expected it to. I got the snowthrower fired up (eventually) and attacked the white mass. It was a heavy wet snow and kept clogging up the discharge shoot. I ended up doing some shoveling which really takes a toll on my broken body. Hey, what are drugs for right? We ended up with another 8-10 inches here. It's kinda hard to tell with the drifting. Here's what it ended up looking like.

Round Two

Late yesterday the snow begain in fits and starts. On, off, on, off. Around 8 pm it actually started snowing. Tiny little flakes driven by highwinds. With the temperatures in the high 30's the last couple of days the air is moisture laden creating a wet, heavy snow. While it's not happening at my house yet, there are reports of power lines down and tree limbs breaking under the weight of this snow. We can expect this stuff to end some time Wednesday! After all the "models" have been revised we look be in for 6-10 inches of this wet snow. And the wind is howling, driving snow into drifts that will soon block streets and highways. So, it's a day to relax, have some hot chocolate and watch a few movies. Here's the view out my front door this morning.
