Digging out

I shoveled last night - and still there was an additional 18 inches that fell over night.
My neighbor, God bless her, came over and helped me dig out.
Look at my trash cans - buried under feet of snow.
I never saw such a pile of snow!
Finally got it done.
Front Porch now.

Mc, this reminds me of the first year I owned a house in MN. Bought the house in April and then when it started to snow one afternoon in Oct. I realized I better go get a shovel and got the last one at Target. It snowed and snowed and snowed until we had 38 inches!!
I had also volunteered to shovel for my 89 year old neighbor when I first moved in (and there was no snow :D )
I shoveled until I thought I was gonna freak out. Looks like you have done the same amount of work.
Glad you have a warm, snuggy home to go into and some good program pals to call.
Stay dry,
Scout

In the UK, two inches of snow and the whole country grinds to a halt! It looks so pretty, but I don't envy you trying to carry on a normal life in it!

Stop shovelling and stay warm - remember you're only just getting over a bad back! (nag nag nag!)

Sorry to hear you got sick... I'm finally well now that I can't go anywhere. But guess what? There's no place I'd rather be than snowbound with my sober hubby and healthy grown daughter who is baking cookies... so why did I pick this week to do a cleanse??? Me want a cookie bad :-(

I love the silence during a winter storm. I miss that and the crunching on new snow with each footstep. Other than that, I'm glad it you up there instead of me.....

Pics look awesome.
