Our First big Snow



We have just had our first snow that amounted to anything. We got a couple of inches. That is nothing compared to what we sometimes get. The picture above shows what we got a few years ago.


With a snow like that pictured above you don't just go out and get in your car and drive away! You have to shovel your driveway first.


Usually the City takes care of the streets and highways but they do not care about your driveway.


Years ago, Ford took care of the driveway and since he is gone I manage a shovel width path to go over to my mail and paper box. I do not go anywhere in the car when there is snow to worry about.


The snow is beautiful when it first falls and isn't messed up and slushy but after a day or so the beauty is gone and it is just a pain in the b-- er neck!


I hope every year for a light winter without much snow but we get at least one or two big snows that stay on the ground for several weeks. We have had a blizzard in April one year and many times we get heavy snowfalls in March.

Snow is such a rarity here, that every year SH and I pray for a white Christmas. We don't usually get it!
