Snow-Aaaargh!
 

The snowbanks are taller than I am now. My stairs have disappeared and we walk in on a level path instead of walking up and down 4 steps and a landing. Every time the plow guy comes we have to shovel the snowbank he plows in front of the steps.

This morning when I got home from work, I had to shovel UP before I could get in the door!:mad: (The man is away at his mom's taking care of some family business or he would have done it before I got home)

The cat sat on the windowsill and watched me shovel down to open his door. He has a tunnel now that goes uphill to get out the door. He didn't go out, he went in the litterbox and eyed me distastefully when I came in, as if it is all my fault, then went back to bed and crawled under the blanket.

I'm sick of winter!:thud:

We had to have our roof shoveled and de-iced for only the second time ever. Bob is so sick of shoveling, he's ready to throw rocks at the meteorologist (as if it's his fault).

And we're up here in the north, where we've had it "easy" in every storm. I can't even imagine what people are doing in this winter's snow belt.

Remember last Summer, when we were wishing for a LITTLE snow? Now I'm wishing for a little Spring......

My Gramma always said..."Be careful what you wish for".:eek: :D

Had to drag DH to the chiropractor. His neck was way off due to looking up so much for roof raking. Then he climbed up and finished off the middle sections. A house in town collapsed due to the weight.

The mailbox is buried, and we keep having to unbury it if we want mail. The minute you finish the driveway, and come in the house, take off your boots and sit down, the snow plow will come by and plow in the driveway again.

I used to be so excited by winter, now I see it as a pain.

Last night it started blowing hard with the cold front coming in. The temp dropped like a rock to several degrees below zero in what felt like 5 minutes.

I had to work, and when I went out to warm up whatever car I could get out of it's parking space, I found that a giant drift was forming at about an inch a minute halfway up my 50 yard driveway/road.

I got the mouse car started and tried to pull it out to the drift so I could shovel and have a place to get warm. I got halfway past the Lincoln....and got stuck. No forward, no backwards, no go.

I had to shovel that car out every two feet. I finally got to the drift, ripped off my ankle length wool coat and started shoveling. I finally got the car out of the driveway, had to walk all the way back to the house to get my stuff and lock up, turn off lights, etc.

By the time I got back out to the driveway, it was as if I hadn't shoveled that drift at all. Fortunately, my car was on the other side of it! I got home this morning, and that sucker was about ten feet high. My car's on the other side of it and I am hoping I will be able to find it when I wake up later today...

I hate winter.

We only had a few inches,but it's colder than a momma fugie out side..:eek:

((((River))))

My faith has been renewed!

I got up this afternoon knowing I had to go out and get my car back down the road to my own yard. I was so disgusted this morning when I saw that drift that I just walked away and left the car keys in it.

I microwaved a cup of last night's coffee and got dressed, booted, gloved, scarfed, hatted and wrapped in the twenty dollah ankle length wool coat and opened the door.

...the plow driver had come. Not only did he come, he did NOT plow my steps in, he didn't do one pass and he didn't pass me by. He moved my car, cleared the drift, widened the end of the road, opened a double space in my own yard to park in, plowed the next door camp so I could park there if it snows again, and pulled both cars down into my driveway! (I NEVER leave the keys in the cars! I forgot the Lincoln keys last night when I was deciding which car to take and was so disgusted that I didn't care about the mouse car this morning!) I think I love him!

It took me 10 minutes to get undressed again, but I am warm, the stove is blasting out heat, I have chocolate and I don't have to shovel for at least 7 days according to the weather report!

If it makes anybody feel better it's snowing right this minute here in Georgia......:mad:.

Kitty it shouldn't snow in Georgia, or Mississippi, Alabama, Texas or Ark. but it did this year. These are places to go to to vacation and warm up. The ice is the worst. I saw so many crashes on TV. What are the car ins companies going to do? Pay all these claims and raise everyones rates? :eek:

People should stay home and get the time off from their jobs with pay. It's dangerous to drive in this white stuff and black ice. Unless you are emergency personnel you should be home. :)

River what a mess and bad time you had. How did you do it? TG for the plow guy. Was he cute? Lol
