Snow...snow...snow!

Sunday, 9. March 2008, 16:45:22

To follow--- about a dozen pics of the biggest snow storm we have seen in quite some time...I think the last big one like this was back in the 40's.....

My poor husband had to go to work yesterday...thankfully there was a lull in between the fronts coming through...and he managed to get home before the worst of it hit. :smile:
Our van couldn't make it up the driveway however, and had he taken the little Honda...he wouldn't have made it home at all.
The first pic is from the 30 cm's of snow we had on Wednesday...

not so bad....




This was taken this morning...

:eyes:





Outside our living room window this morning...






(our mudroom...notice the 'lack' of window!)




What greeted me when I opened the door....







Our poor little Honda... rip







(the van--stuck at the bottom of the driveway)







(the house & deck---view on the way to the barn)






(Poor boy---I was up in the wee hours this morning..praying that all the critters were safe & sound)






(my girl-Gypsy---she wasn't in there all night--she is covered in white crusty ice & snow!)








(where's my water dish?)


Today, the focus is going to be on clearing out a path to get out of the driveway eventually. I am praying for a nice person to show up with a tractor or snow plow. :angel: (***UPDATE*** that angel showed up! A nice friend with a tractor!! YES!! :yes:)
Our eldest son will be shovelling off the roof...and my dear man will be trying to make the path to get out! p:
:ko:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>More pics can be seen HERE!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Have a great day! :heart:
ps...oh yes..this was a system that came in from Texas! Crazy!

Oh Cheryl - you poor lady!!! A LITTLE snow is so pretty, but what you have there is a deluge! Still pretty, but an awful lot to deal with.
The first two pictures are very interesting, showing the accumulation from one to the other. And your living room window - well I guess the bright side is that you won't have to clean the outside of your windows for awhile.:lol:
You certainl have a beautiful home!
I hope all the critters can stay warm.
Well, you certainly have some beautiful pictures. You can look them over this spring when it's all gone. We're well into March, it can't possibly last much longer - can it?

Unreal! I love the snow for sure, but not this time of year. Texas? It's Sarah's fault! :lol:

I've been waiting for some pictures of the snow knowing you were getting a lot of bunches and bunches. Your mudroom window looks like the one in my basement apartment the year we had 'White Juan' although we got that snowfall all at one time. Take heart, once we get through this month it'll be easy.

It's really ok! My kids & hubby shovelled off the roofs...the living room & woodshed...
And one of our friends--he has a tractor with a snowblowing attachment..he came down and cleared our driveway!

Thanks for the compliment on our home. We consider ourselves blessed. :smile:

Yup Sandy..it's Sarah's fault! :wink:

And Marie...Thanks for the encouragement..I am taking heart...really, I can't imagine it getting any worse! ---once all the snow was cleared it looks very pretty.


Check out the extra pics on the link at the bottom of this post. :heart:

That's a ton of snow! I haven't seen that much since a blizzard we had years ago when I was growing up! We got to stay home from school and so we went outside and had snowball fights! :D

I visited you blog and surprised to see so much snow. I am curious to know it takes how many day to clear? I believe when the snow is cleared a new pretty landscape will appear. Best Wishes and Regards.

I think you broke the record for snow from what I saw on the news this morning - congratulations :yikes:

By MaGoose, # 10. March 2008, 13:12:33

Yes, it is a LOT of snow...
They said on the news last night that it would probably take about a week to get it mostly cleaned up.
At least where I live there are wide open spaces...I can't imagine what they do in the city limits.. There is a lack of space for snow dumping.
The snow banks are high everywhere.
Today I am going outside to dig more of a pathway to the barn.
The snow was way past my knees when I went out yesterday morning. :eyes:

Marie...I think we broke some sort of record..but we still didn't break the one record set in 70-71 for the most snow in the season...
we are still 34 cm's short! (440 some odd cm's) Well..I don't want to break that one!! :lol:

Love it we got missed....for a change

It's good that you cleared your roof soon! Great that the helpers appeared! :up:

Here in Austria we had two mild winters, but the one before was hard and brought lots of snow. People here did not clear their roofs because they are all built very well, but in that winter it often rained onto the snow and froze again, and the snow masses got heavier and heavier, and finally some houses broke! Then everyone cleared their roof...
So it's nothing to play with.

I think though that the horses don't care about the snow loads as long as there is a dry resting place.

Yes...we have already cleared our roof twice this winter! It's been very snowy! :eyes:
Houses aren't made to handle the amount of weight that snow & ice bring... I forgot the estimated amount of weight they announced on the news...but it was amazing how heavy...tons!

You are right..the horse's only care about a full tummy and shelter from the wind. :heart:

Hope the snow getting lesser and lesser by now.

Actually it is snowing right now. (BIG FAT FLAKES OF SNOW) :irked:
It's supposed to snow a few more times this week. :cry:

Also..I have heard that the total accumulation for that storm was 56 cm's here in the Ottawa area.
Amazing! :heart:

Oh Cheryl, Its so beautiful, but I know you don't need the extra work. I have a friend in Ohio, they got 12 inches. WOW!!!

:yikes: Sorry Cheryl!!! :cry:

Hi Pam!
Yes...it seems we are sharing the wealth...

:lol: Sarah! Are you apologizing for being the reason for the snow storm? :wink:
(it came from Texas!)
It's snowing again right now! :irked:
Though..tomorrow a lot of it should melt since it is going to get mild. :up:

Oh good...and I am glad to hear that you didn't have any
electricity problems with this one yet. That worries me.
Yes...it was the Texas part, lol.
Keep warm..I bet you are making cold weather food like
soups and stews...Spring has really sprung here..so I hope
that the little bit of snow last week was it for us.

Keep warm,
:heart:

Today it's supposed to get warmer...
The issue for a lot of Ontarians is 'flooding'!
They are calling for rain--tonight or tomorrow?
:eyes: -- It should prove to be interesting!

Thanks Sarah... :smile: :heart:

By ALLY_G, # 16. March 2008, 13:51:49

Probably! Since Easter is coming up in a weeks time. Yep..but it's not unusual for there to be snow at Easter.. :smile: :heart:

What is the forecast? Do you have a chance of sunshine?

Not here in the Black Forest. :frown: They tell us something about rain, heavy rain, snow and rain and all that. :cry:

By ALLY_G, # 17. March 2008, 14:35:53

avatar
Well..it is a sunny day today...I haven't heard to forecast in a while.
I will be sure to get the news tonight. :smile:

I hope that they are wrong in your case.. :frown: :heart:

How it will be: I'll try to do the best, even if the weather is bad, because I don't have the chance to change it. :smile:

By ALLY_G, # 17. March 2008, 16:29:08

If you ever learn how to change it..let me know! :wink: :heart:
