I live in an earth sheltered house and while it is great on energy, this wind has the snow drifted up 3-4 foot in front of the garage and the door to the do yard. Poor dogs don't know where/how to go pee!

I moved snow for 2 hours today with the tractor and have to do another 2 or 3 hours tomorrow for just the driveways and dog yard. I already called the boss and told him I won't be in.

I'm really going through the wood and looks like I'll be hard at it for the next several days.

I love that kind of weather, how much snow you get in total from the storm?
 
Wow, love the photo! And the wagon wheels! And the way snow blankets whatever one has in their yard, and makes it uniformly pretty for a while, like a coat of fresh paint. Nice.
 
Be careful out there in that stuff guy and keep that 30 kickin.
 
We got 14 inches total with wind gusts nearing 40 mph. I had drifts 2 to 5 foot high and spent 3 1/2 hours on the tractor getting it cleared.

The snow looks pretty until you move some of it, now it just looks like a big mess.

It's 1 degree right now and supposed to get down to -4.
 
Now you know why Dorothy and Todo moved to Florida. :lol:
