The Dog has more common sense

Here is a picture of the dog this morning. He has no appreciation for all the effort I put into clearing the deck and the stairs so that he could get down to his yard.

He literally went down stairs, peed, and this was him immediately after he’d finished. 

Note the ears, that’s his “Oh HELL NO,” attitude.

While my driveway was clear yesterday.  The snowfall over night was enough to park waist high snow in it.

This is without question the worst snowstorm I’ve seen in 30 some od years up here. 

Global Warming… My ass! 

I’m kidding, I know that you cannot judge the validity of climate change by only one storm. I’ve also been here long enough that I remember 3 similar storms occurring about every 10 years or so.

This one is the worst but only by a foot or so of snow. I don’t remember one being so late in the season. But conditions were apparently just right.

It’s the luck of the draw. Some years there’s not a lot of snow, other years the snowfall is pretty evenly spaced out and years like this, Winter saves it all up and hits you just when you’ve put the snow shovels away.

The lump in one of the photos is a car. I don’t know exactly how much snow we got. I can tell you that there’s no place to pile it up anymore. 

We got a break for a couple of hours this afternoon and then got hit again with heavy snow for a few hours. It’s tapering off now but it added about 3 inches to the grand total. After I’d managed to dig a trail from the base of my stairs out to the street.

It was annoying, but that’s the breaks.

The main street that comes into our neighborhood has not been plowed. No-one is going anywhere until that street is done and even then, it might take a couple of days of sun and warm temperatures before it’s a sure bet we’ll be able to get back up the street.

Going down won’t be a problem. Gravity will see to that getting back up the street is the hat trick.

I’ll work on posting some other photos later.

Right now I’m exhausted and thinking about heading to bed early.
