Title: SNOWMAGEDDON!
Post by: Michelle on February 16, 2015, 09:55:37 pm: We are just getting plowed out after a huge storm! It was kind of weird to not be able to get out of our driveway if there was an emergency. Our plow guy that we have on a yearly basis had 3 of his trucks down. We finally found someone late this afternoon and he showed up!

Title: Re: SNOWMAGEDDON!
Post by: Michelle on February 17, 2015, 06:57:14 am: We got a dumping of snow! It's quite a shock to see just how much snow came down when the sun was shining this morning. The banks on the drive way are huge, like 10 ft huge! I just can't wait for spring thaw :no:
Title: Re: SNOWMAGEDDON!
Post by: Jen on February 17, 2015, 11:42:06 am: Perry and Michelle, that is the kind of snow I grew up in just 30 minutes from where we live now. The storm in this pic hit 5 years ago. My father-in-law, Warren, still lives on this property. We had to keep this path clean for him to get from his house to this house. A kitty was left behind from the last renters, and we knew that Warren would brave anything to make sure kitty was fed everyday.

I live far enough east of Lake Michigan to miss most of the lake effect snow, that means I miss a lot of the lake effect warmth.

No, thank you. We wouldn't know what to do with it.

It's supposed to get down to 24 here tonight and tomorrow night. Plenty cold enough for me. Then Sunday, it's supposed to be 75. As the saying goes, if you don't like Florida weather, just wait until tomorrow.

the funny part is that the horses are standing on about 1 1/2 -2 feet of packed snow in that picture and they are still chest deep compared to the stuff that they haven't trod on.

I agree. Remember last year when it snowed a couple of inches in Atlanta? It shut the whole place down for a couple of days!
