more whining
I'm sure about as tired of hearing about the nasty cold as I am living in it.
But seriously its -27 C right now. With wind chill its -38.
I feel like I'm never going to warm up again
It would be nice not to have to be dressed like this every time we go outside. Just sayin'
We're definitely about function over fashion now!

V is for Victory
At least it feels like a victory.
I managed to get the entire driveway shoveled yesterday. By myself. Yes just me and a snow shovel. We still haven't invested in a snow plow.
My back, my arms and oddly my thighs may never forgive me but I did it.
The Gate to the house. Luckily it was very powdery, dry snow so it was easy to move and lift. But still not a fun chore.
Can you see how it comes up to Maggie's chest? it was super deep in some places and not bad in others. Kind of like the back yard where it was anywhere from the top of my boots to mid thigh. Depending on how it had drifted. That's one of the problems with getting so much snow with a wind at the same time. Maggie made sure she was out to supervise all the work being done on the driveway. Even when Nathan was out "helping" which consisted of throwing snowballs at Maggie and trying to get her to let him ride her through the drifts. Poor dog puts up with so much from that child.
The front of the van and the accumulation beside it. I've heard we got at least 40 cm over the 2 major days of the storm. And obviously a few cms more in the scattered flurries that followed.

The drifts are piling up.
Somewhere behind this drift is the goats. All Snug and warm I hope.
But so much for all the tracks and path I laid down yesterday.
*sigh*
Another day of slugging through snow drifts

Snow wall
I opened the front (mudroom door) to literally a wall of snow this morning
That's my rubber boot front and center that comes up to my knees. Notice how much higher the snow is? Yeah past my waist. FUN!
I'll give you it's not that deep everywhere out there.
The garage and mudroom entrance is set back about 4 feet from the front of the house. The house and the deck must have acted as a snow fence all night. The snow and wind swirled it all nicely into one big drift directly in front of the door.
It's been snowing since at least 8 last night and hasn't stopped yet.
Although it may not be this deep everywhere I have already lost the benches on the picnic table out back. You can only see the table top still.
Dragging hay to the goats was fun. My paths are all gone. The snow was to my knees.
Heck. It's a good work out right?
I'm thinking I should have picked up more milk when I was in town last. We may be snowed under for the week.
