More Snow Pics


I finally got out and about a little today. I got the 4wd pickup stuck in the driveway and had to dig the snow out from under it so I could get to the shop to get the snow blower and scoop shovels.

This is the worst snow that I can remember in a long time. The highest wind gust at the airport was recorded at 74 mph.



This is the front of my shop/office. The snow blower is inside there. I had to blow my way out.




This is the front of the bank where Mrs. Web works. They have a small path on the other side of the drift so they can get in the front door.




This is just a pic from downtown. That is a state highway so it is more cleaned off than the city streets.





The boy wanted McDonalds for lunch so I drove through there on the way home.




This is a side street just a couple blocks from our house. No one has been through there yet.




The boy thinks this is fun stuff!
There are a lot of branches down from the heavy snow and ice with the wind.




Now I'm on my way back out to see if I can get my grandmother's driveway cleaned out for her.

The boy just thinks it is great because he doesn't have to shovel or use the snowblower yet.


He is cutie though. Don't lose him in a snow bank. It looks like some of them are higher than him.

Make sure the boy doesn't pick up any of those "frozen tootsie rolls" in the front yard!

It looks like you've got a lot of digging out to do. What's the forecast? Warming temps and sun?

Its good that you have that overhead roller door.
On the farm I used to have shed doors that swung out so I would have clear them before opening.
Most of the time I had a tractor with a bucket so I could clean out with that.
Now I just have a blower and scoop like you.

Back from getting grandma's driveway cleaned out. I'm pooped . . . in a different way than my front yard though.

The official word is an estimate of 10". The high wind is what made it so bad. Forecast is a 30% chance of more snow tomorrow then in the high 20's until Saturday.

JD, I know you Northerners know what this stuff is all aboot. This is big news for us though. A typical "big" snow for us is 6-8" with not quite this much wind.
