Yesterday it was nice and sunny.  You can see how much snow we have.  Mom left the truck in the picture so you can tell how high the snowbank is.

Of course, I have a terrific napping spot, and am quite cozy.

Exit Nemo

After Nemo left, the snowplows came by and our driveway got cleared and Mom dug the car out. This is what it looked like after all that stuff happened. If you biggify the picture, you can see how high the snowbank is. (It's about as high as the hood of the truck, which is why Mom included the truck in the picture.)  Notice how you can't even see the stone wall across the street.

The big city snowplow pushed all the snow onto the sidewalk, so now the sidewalk has 30" of very hard packed heavy tough snow. Mom doesn't know if the sidewalk plow will be able to push through it.  Anyway, the sun finally came out yesterday afternoon, but it was still very windy and cold.

Mom says we may yet have a When When Contest after all! Check back next week to find out for sure!

Nemo the Blizzard, Updated

So Friday was kind of a dud in terms of a blizzard. The weather guys had said it was going to start snowing heavily Friday afternoon, but it really started coming down around dinner time.  Here's proof:

This picture was taken at 1:30 PM Friday afternoon.

This was taken Friday at 4:00 in the afternoon. It was kinda sorta snowing, but nothing really serious.

This picture was taken at 7:00 PM Friday. After Mom took the picture, she watched a car try to take a right turn up the hill. It got up as far as that driveway and then couldn't go any farther. As Mom watched, the car spun around, went back down the hill and straight down the street. Mom guessed they would try again after getting a better head start, so she waited.  Sure enough, the car tried again, and this time it just barely made it up the hill.

This picture was taken at 10 PM Friday night. The snow was probably 8 - 10 inches deep here. There's no way of knowing just by looking, and Mom wasn't about to go outside to measure. The snow was really coming down, but the weather guys said it would come down a lot harder overnight, up to two or maybe even three inches an hour. (that's 7.6 cm for my Aussie pals)  That's a LOT of snow.

 Here is what it looks like outside at 8 AM on Saturday morning.  It's so white, you can't really see how much there is. Let me tell you it's A LOT!

This photo of Mom's metal masheen is better for you to see how much snow there is.


btw, Mom made chili with beef, two loaves of home made bread and cake. We are both safe and warm.  Very "snug."  Her Zombie eye is getting better too.  Proof further down.
