The kids have had 5 snow days. I had to look up the number because I lost track!
The latest snow was the worst - 10" on top of snow that was already on the ground. I don't know about everyone else, but we're out of room to put it. Our driveway is in a hole with walls on each side.
Before the big snow...my husband's sculpture looked like this:
Right before it got dark! Everything was really quite!
Two days after the big snowfall, it took me 45 minutes to get home from work. It usually takes me 11 minutes. The streets were and are horrible. It's been a long time, since we've gotten that much snow. When the plows were out, it was in the thick of it. The wind was blowing everywhere. They have to try and clear the streets because some people like doctors, nurses, police officers, firefighters, and so on have to go to work. The snow just drifted everywhere. The temperature dropped, so no salt was working. Everything was turning to ice. Downtown has 1 lane roads; when they usually have 2. Cars were stuck here and there all over.
Watch your step, black ice!
I have never worn my rain boots more than I have this year. This kind of ice is fun to step on.
Ice is hanging from my front porch. When I drive I hear crackling and shattering noises. It's not glass! Ice is falling to the ground. I literally have carcicles.
Ice or claws?
Has it snowed where you live? I know we're not alone. My friends in Missouri have gotten it too!
Wow! that's bad i hope you all get through it ok if that was in London the whole place would be a complete standstill we can't cope with any extreme weather whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteHave a warmtastic week :-)
I like looking at your photos but do NOT like living with it.
ReplyDeleteNope, no snow here. On the contrary, we've been hit by a heatwave and temps are in the 90s!
ReplyDeleteNo snow here - we've had heat waves but for now, quite pleasant! That bleck ice looks scary!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, do you live near me because we got the same stuff. Plus I live near Fox River & around there is really crazy. You would think I lived at the North Pole. Wow, was just telling my hubby that I think our planet has moved off its axis & that's why our weather has gone ka-plooey!!!! brrrrrrrr Have a great weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of snow. I guess I shouldn't complain about our rain. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteI think we've had like 5 or 6 snow days too. Allison gets pissed when they cancel. She thinks she's going to use up all of her summer vacation making up those snow days.
ReplyDeleteNo snow here... heck, we cant even get really cold. Lol
ReplyDeleteI've never been a fun of ice and snow, not even when I was little. That driving and black ice are the two worst things for me.
