Snowed In, And It's Not A Bad Thing

[blairmacg]

The advantage of working mostly from home--and having days and days off from the parts that don't fall under the mostly--is that there is no downside to being shut in because of the blizzard.

Dev was told not to come into work today, so we're just home with the dogs--dogs who spent an hour chasing each other and rolling in the snow, then half an hour being dried off with warm towels.  They are now snoring in canine bliss.

I've shoveled the driveway once.  Dev will do the second round.  It's much better to shovel easy twice than it is to shovel once hard.

Here's the front porch.  That rocking chair usually looks much more inviting, and the windchime above it doesn't usually look like a handful of nunchaku.




And here are my poor little flamingoes, that look like they're huddling together against the wind.  The snow has nearly consumed their little legs.



Lastly, hidden beneath a snow-covered evergreen, is my little garden goblin.

Wow, how many inches is that???

BTW, feedback comments should be ready soon.

I'm not sure how much snow we've had. Last word was that 7" had fallen at the airport, and over 8" in the town 10 miles west of us... and we were supposedly getting heavier snow than either location. Hard to tell, though, because the wind has been blowing so much!

When I was shoveling the driveway, one side had perhaps 4-5 inches of snow but the other side was almost a foot.

Snow is still coming down...
