Title: Big Snow Part 2
Post by: valhalla on 08-Feb-10, 04:47:17 PM
12 to 15 inches more is coming in around noon on Tuesday!   :scaredblue:  Contact Rod Sterling and queue the Twilight Zone music.  I'm going to pretend that pizza is falling from the sky.  :happy: To amuse the rest of you (yes, I'm starting to whine), here are some pictures from Saturday evening through this morning.  I did get some artsy-fartsy shots, so it's not all about being a pack mule.  I think this mule is going to find a barn north of here where there isn't any snow this year!

Enjoy  ;)

Wow, your still out of work???? We don't close here for anything.....I think the Blizzard of 96 halted us. Business as usual no matter.

Business makes money and DC wastes it.  The famed Metro can't run above ground in the snow.  Then there was the Superbowl on Sunday.  We can't get staff to come to work in the rain - can't fire them!

Grandson lives in West Chester, Pa.  They were hit hard with last storm.  He works in Delaware.
Has a 40-45 minute drive to work under normal conditions.  Pa. is expecting to be hit again.
Grandma worries!!!

LOL Ei! After digging my cars out for 1 and 1/2 hours this am, the *&%$ PLOW came back back and pushed all the snow back to where I just dug out. SOOOOOOOOO, I had to do it all over again.  :aaarggh:   :crybaby: Um, yes, I flipped him as he probably laughed all the way to the end of my road. "NO MERCY". Then I had to go babysit all day..."SCHOOLS CLOSED" but I'm here and all is well, SO FAR! Thanks for noticing. I'm trying to catch up now. :)

They kept pushing us back in for a week, but our road is clear, so I'm viewing it as the price of admission  ;)  Also, I worked so hard and so long moving snow and moving more snow that Rich bought me new diamond earrings (figured it was cheaper than the dishwasher I want)  :happy: 

I still hate snow!  Now, have I tossed the bird and a few snowballs at the plows over the years  :2funny:  That would be very correct.  Buses, too, in my younger days.   :wave:
