Got some digging done

Well, it looks like we got a total of about 6 or 7 inches of snow by this morning. This may well be the largest single snowfall we’ve had this winter.

I didn’t get much of my usual morning rounds done. I started digging around the house a bit. Just enough to clear the doors, the space inside the cat shelter set up, and a path to the gate.

We’re going to have to break out little Spewie, but probably not until tomorrow. It’s just too windy out there!

The driveway is blown completely flat, and the winds have packed the snow down. Not a single tire track of shoveled path is visible anymore! We’ll have to dig out the doors just to access where snow blower is stored.

Thankfully, we don’t need to go anywhere, and we are well stocked, so there is no urgency to get things cleared. It does look like the road has been plowed, though, which is good.

As I write this, we’ve already reached our predicted high of -11C/12F. The wind chill brings it down to -27C/-17F. Tomorrow, we’re expecting a high of -13C/9F, but without the winds we’re getting today, so it’s going to feel much nicer. After that, we’re expected to start warming up and, a week from today, we’re supposed to start hitting highs above freezing, and staying above freezing.

As much as I appreciate the mild winter we’ve had, I’m looking forward to it being over!!

  2. I hear you, lol. I’m sick of winter also. It’s been heavier here. Snow normally lasts a day before melting and I think the annual snowfall is all of 3 inches. It stuck around for most of January this time, and turned to inches of ice overnight. 

    Blarg!
