Saturday Aftermath
Well March is certainly marching in like the proverbial lion this year. It started snowing again on late Friday afternoon/early evening. It was not big just very small fine snow particles to begin with, then some dry soft fluffy flakes and back to the tiny dust size snow. Overnight it must have really snowed.
It was not very cold about 15 degrees Fahrenheit, and we generally do not get the very fine snow at those temps. over night it continued to warm and we awoke with about eight inches of fresh snow. It was pretty light weight so no problem with removing it from the car, but still it was not fun.
The pictures are from my smart phone and are somewhat different than my normal picture line up.
I do not think I have shown this. that is a 55 gallon oil barrel that was converted to a burn barrel. In Texas it would have been made into a BBQ, and in Jamaica into a couple of Tin Drums. Pretty versatile object. You can see how deep the snow is the top is barely viable.
Those are from opening the door to get in, after getting in I closed the door pulled slightly forward and then re-opened the door and took the picture. My parking spot is getting pretty tight.
Semi deceiving, but it is a pretty big pile of snow, probably on the order of seven feet or so.
My going out part of the driveway is still pretty wide but things are closing in.
Poor trees are really getting snow mounded, The right side drive is the way out, the left I use for the way in. I did leave today by the left hand side of the trees though.
Things, as mentioned above, are getting a bit tight for this part of the driveway, Here is what the road out front looks like. It has not been plowed yet being what they consider a tertiary road it most like wont be until Monday before they get to it.
The secondary road is not in to bad of shape, but they only have the two passes on the road and the edges need to be pushed back a little bit more
Over all, other than having to clear the snow from the car,it didn't end up being to bad of a day. Temperatures ranged from 20F to 32F, (-6C to 0C) the snow stopped about noon, the sun came out and the plow guy surprisingly showed up. Even though I cleared the snow off of the car I really was not expecting him today, but his timing was good, we have places to go, people to see and shopping to be done on our funday Sunday.
The view from looking out behind the parking area. It will warm up, it will make a mess, the driveway will get soft, and hopefully the new oil delivery person when meltdown does get here will pass us by and not destroy our driveway.
Hopefully the snow is done, but you just never know when you live in the North.
