Blizzard Time

The weather has been all over the news in our part of the country and this time the weather men appear to be right. By the time I got home there was at least a foot of snow in the driveway. The drive was fine. I drove slow and the main roads were being plowed. My road however had not been plowed in hours. My Subaru did me proud and I didn't slip or skid all the way home.... didn't quite make it up the driveway but at least the car is off the street.

Enjoy the pictures. [click on pictures to enlarge]

 The drive home.

My front tire where it stopped in the driveway.

Looking down at my boots.

My car at the bottom of the driveway.

 I am standing at the top of the driveway, for perspective.

I hate the snow....when I have to drive in it, but I'll take it over floods, earthquakes and tornado's any day.

-->I think you live in the wrong part of the country to hate snow. Just sayin'! Although we've been getting a lot here at the beach this winter.

I'm with you! There are worse things to deal with than snow! It's snowing like crazy here in southern Maine, too. Although it didn't start until sometime after 4:00 am, so we only have a couple of inches so far.

So much better than floods and earthquakes! You did get a ton of it! I can practically hear the sound of the tires on the snow from here!

Cathy said...

Yay snow! I love it, what can I say?! Hope you are warm and cozy inside now.

Brian Miller said...

Mr. Condescending said...

me and you both know that it's not even impressive. We both live in climates where this is just a minor annoyance hah.

I'm ready for summer though, are you?

I can't even SEE your boots!

I can't wait for the snow to be gone here too; third snow day in a row - and we live in the south!!

glad you made it home safely

I don't know if I could say the same. I've never experienced a real flood or tornado or earthquake. I haven't heard the tally here but I heard 27 inches and considering my boyfrined has a snowblower and he's been outside for over 2 hours I think it is over 2 foot!

These pictures fill me with raw, naked fear! Driving in the snow scares the heebeejeebees out of me. Makes me glad I work from home these days!

(BTW, Marmite can also be used on tyres to gain traction in slippery weather. No really! I read it on a blog somewhere...)

Why would I want to see them bigger? (Click to enlarge) If I want bigger I just look out the window. Grrrrrr, I am so over snow.
