Winter Wonderland

Yep, here we are again.

We got around 6 - 8 inches and up to 15 where those endearing snow plows lovingly piled it into our driveway. I decided to break down and buy a snow thrower. Thankfully, Lady G loves to play with it. ;)

I predict a rapid cure of this fascination when there's four feet of snow in the driveway and the blowsnower jams a couple times.

At least, that's what cured me . . . :D

We got around 10 inches on Friday/Saturday. As if that wasn't enough, today on the news, the weatherman said we are under another storm watch-this one starts tomorrow evening and goes through Tuesday evening. We're supposed to get more snow, lots of high winds that will blow the snow around and make it pile up, AND an Arctic air mass-the high on Wednesday will only be in the single digits-BRRRR!

So far this winter we've gone over our avareage snowfall (about 80 inches is what we usually get). They are saying that we're on track to have a winter like Marquette-a town in the Uppper Penninsula that usually gets over 100 inches of snow every winter. Ugh.

Who wants to talk about global warming when the temperature is 7 above zero?
