Snow Storm Part II - First Installment

Opened the garage door this morning at 7:30 with Prodigy's "Firestarter" cranking in the iPod.

Took two hours to plow the 8 inches we got over night.


With all the snow we had already, it's a good thing I took some time yesterday to push back the piles that were already there. Even with that I still had to do a lot of "high plowing" (leaving the plow in the air, off the ground, pushing the higher parts of the piles back) this morning to make room for the heavy wet eight.

Gretchen had a blast. I'd periodically stop to throw snowballs for her.

The snow is a great work-out for her. She has to jump to get anywhere. Chasing snowballs goes, jump, jump, jump, then root. Throw another and it's jump, jump, jump, root all over again.

I've also been stockpiling water.

With forecasts of 40mph winds, our power is likely to go out; therefor, losing our well. In order to keep Jen's milk machine going, we're going to need water. The rest of us (Jen's Mom and I) can drink beer to survive if we have to.
