The first real snow of 2008, part 2

As expected, the second significant snow is leaving it’s mark – heavier, wetter, and more snow than yesterday! And of course, the cars are once again in need of digging out. Notice too how the street plows have left a line of deep, heavy, wet snow in front of the cars – we have to dig all that away …

In the back garden, the sun furniture on the deck is buried by snow, and it’s hard to recognize the plants and pond deck underneath!

The first real snow of 2008

Now, we’ve had a “proper” snow storm, dropping 6″-8″ on the ground and requiring real effort to clear the cars … I took these pictures yesterday, and while I’m writing this another snow storm is getting serious, so we’ll be digging out again tonight!

Lots of wind yesterday so the roof looks deceptively clear; but here’s our cars, before & after digging out – the pile of moved snow tells the truth!

 

The first real snow of 2008

A snow storm which made it’s way across the whole country (and shut down Las Vegas!) arrived here Friday afternoon and snowed through Saturday – in fact it never completely stopped falling here in Gloucester, and now another snow storm is dropping what looks like LOTS more!
But yesterday morning, Margaret & I dug out the cars from 6″-8″ of snow, which had drifted interestingly around the cars to create a sharp-edged profile for GBMINI#6 (maybe this is what the MINI SUV will look like!) …

Of course with the snow falling as it is right now, our cars will need digging out again tonight!

UPDATE: GBMINI#6 after more snow:
