It snowed about 3 feet here. It took two rounds of shoveling (once in the AM; once in the PM) to get clear. The picture above is our back yard, and for those who have dogs, you understand you’re not done when the front porch and driveway are cleared. There’s also the much needed dog path in the back yard.
We’re both getting way to old for this crap!

Wow, that’s a lot of snow. I’m glad the pups have a clear path out back.

We’d love to have someone do this for us and would gladly pay. But we’ve never been able to find someone who can or will do it. Done services never even called us back.
Sigh.

This storm has convinced us to start the search once again.

Hopefully by now you are sitting in front of the fire and nursing cosmos. Sorry that you had to shovel so much (and twice at that)
I am sure the pups are grateful for their path to the outdoors. Hoping the snow is over and you can relax and rest.

Ah, I remember digging those snow paths for our Pomeranians when we lived in Pennsylvania and endured many winter snowmaggendons. Now we have no dogs (can’t take the losses anymore) and no snow (at least this last one). Your picture of the snow run brought back fond memories.

If we didn’t have a holiday weekend trip planned with the besties in CT, we would have been tempted to wait it out and let it melt.

Time for a snowblower! Or time for a move south.

We have a snowblower for the driveway, but still have to shovel the front porch and back dog paths. I’m a Northern boy at heart, but my resolve is weakening with each snowstorm.

That is a lot of work. I’d definitely get a blower to take care of that stuff at my old age. I’m not sure my shoulders would like all of that shoveling.

Your snow picture reminded me of growing up near Lake Placid, NY. Snow and more snow and then gigantic snow banks. You will more than likely have a white Christmas!

We love lake placid and usually stay a weekend there once a year. The snow will definitely still be here Thursday.

Im not really complaining about the snow. I love it, as long as I don’t have to drive in it. I don’t even mind shoveling and snow blowing…it’s just getting harder to do.
