Sir Henry, the pic looking up your driveway to the house with the ruts in the snow is both beautiful and ugly. Beautiful view but ugly snow to plow. (Yep, I know you see beauty in both :lol:) Until a few years ago I felt exactly as you, come on snow pile up! Even tho I’m several years younger I am changing over to %$&* snow! :lol:

Speaking of snow, yesterday we ended up with 5” around my place. A little less on the concrete and lawn areas due to retained heat from warm days in the recent past. I just used a shovel around my place but did put the blade on the Ranger to plow my neighbors place. He’s out of town but I wanted to make it look inhabited.

32 this morning with sunny skies forecast. That’s great as today it the annual St Paddy’s parade in Spokane. It’s a big deal with lots of partying happening in the downtown bars afterwards.
Most of the long time locals tell me I’m crazy. I am now prepared to just sit this one out for a few days. With the ground blizzard it would be fruitless to try and plow as it would fill right up again. I’ve seen absolutely no traffic but that is normal. On a busy day I might see a dozen vehicles.

It’s going to snow all day followed by higher wind. The temperature is not bad at 22F.

25 F here. Cloudy. It should be above freezing here soon today.
Coffee in plain Jane this morning.
Nothing special on tap, around the house things.

Hope your day is good.

Thinking about you guys, BRM and Sir Henry and your weather. But I take comfort in the fact you know how to deal with it.

Here it’s a chilly 20 but the sunrise is very orange. That’s encouraging as the high today should be 41 or so. Then warming up all week with some nice springtime temps in the 60’s.

Not much planned for today. I may continue my firewood splitting. Very happy I am able to get this early start as this wood is very green and wet. A typical hot dry summer should get the moisture out. I stack it loosely to allow good air flow.

Visibility is down to 300 yards I believe this is an official blizzard and I’m enjoying every second of it. We have already received 10.5” on top of the 8” two days ago.

Didn't see the predicted snow flakes. Anyway, 38' and overcast. Drying out. No rain expected today. Maybe 51' later.

Looks like you have some french doors, you could possibly get stuck in the house if all your doors had screen doors that opened out. :shock:

I just opened my front door to find a wall of snow. I’ve been opening it about once an hour and shoving the snow. This is the worst drifting I’ve seen in the four years I’ve lived here.
