In general, I don't think snowstorms are worth mentioning. Like we all haven't seen the results before! However, this New Year's Eve weekend was such a disaster I had to record it. There were two serious blizzards in two days. When the bad weather started some freezing rain fell so there was (and still is) a lethal coat of ice all over everything. My car is still a block of ice because of it. My side mirrors are coated with ice that is so thick that I cant't penetrate it with a scraper without worrying about breaking the glass. There is no where to bring my car that is warm. So...I have been driving around with a limited rear view. Also, there has been so much snow that the streets are getting narrow and what is usually three lanes is now two and you just have to drive wherever the person in front of you is driving. No one knows where the lanes really are. And the snow drifts are so high you can't see around corners to see if another car is there. It's a huge mess and accidents are rampant.
All of this snow and drifting happened on the 30th and 31st. On New Year's Eve the interstates were closed so Justin couldn't make it here. He tried and had to turn back. The mall closed and many bars were closed! That means it was serious! It was the most dull and anticlimactic New Year's Eve I have had since I was a teenager. Sigh...
Kirk had to remove snow from the first blizzard on Friday and the second one on Saturday. I'm glad I didn't have to help. I loathe snow removal.
The snow fills in their front walkway in a very extreme way. Yikes. He had to deal with this two days in a row.
Snow inflitrated the dog door in the garage and left this lovely surprise.
In the back yard the snow drifted as high as the fence, which is about 8 feet high. Kirk had to dig a trench near the top so Jake wouldn't jump over the fence! The sun looks pretty amazing in this photo!
This the drifting that accumulated on one side of the house.
At least someone had fun!
Happy New Year everyone! It was a memorable one!
