More snow

It snowed again at least two inches of snow. ( Seemed more like 4 inches of snow to me) My other baby brother came by with his skidsteer that has a big ole snowblower on it and cleared us out once again...he made me big paths to the bird feeders.  I love my brother!

I power shoveled some and regular shoveled some...the walk and in front of the garage doors. It is supposed to snow again.  I did not work on the patio at all...maybe today.

I did not sort anything yesterday...we caught up on house cleaning.  Far Guy ran the steam mop over the tile floors.  I did some laundry and I made Chicken Enchiladas for supper.  So along with my shoveling it was a day.  No nap either.

I took a photo out the window...18 inches of snow at the snowstick.  Sounds like a snowy week with a storm forecast for the weekend.

We are expected to get your snow today. You are very fortunate to have someone come and plow you out. As I get older condo living gets more and more desirable to me. That or moving south where it doesn't snow.

We have ice/snow mix for today and then a snow storm for the weekend. Welcome winter? I am lucky that my neighbor keeps the hill plowed for me. I am not looking forward to any winter storm clean up.

We got snow last night, but you got more, it seems. But then again, you're in MinneSNOWda. You taught me that word. :-)

Even I think that's a lot of snow. Wish you could send me some of it. We got storms, but no snow.

Your brother is an angel in a skidsteer!

Rita said...

Snowing here, too. Hungry partridges--LOL! :)

It's been a long time since I had to get out the snow stick. I don't envy all your snow removal but I do think winter just works better with some snow. All this mud is just depressing.

We got a skiff of snow last night, but the temps were in the -30C range. What the heck, it's not supposed to snow when it is that cold! Sun is out today, we'll get our coldest night of the year, dropping to around -40C/F (same thing) then start a bit of a warm up.

It's great you have some help to keep your yard cleared out. Have a good day!

Tired Teacher said...

Glad that you have help walking with all the snow removal.

Your brother is a keeper!! Stay warm! We are expecting -30 below wind chills tonight so we decided not to drive to Brookings for Jackrabbit basketball. It will be on TV so that will have to do.

Thank goodness for your brother! How nice of him to snowblow for you. We had more snow yesterday but this morning is brilliant blue skies. Snow is supposed to return this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow. I'm enjoying sunshine right now though.
Blessings,
Betsy

You certainly are getting hammered by the snow gods! We have a winter storm alert tonight into tomorrow morning... 3-6 inches of snow expected. Certainly nothing like you have been getting. How nice of your brother to make sure you are plowed out. Stay safe and warm!

The snow looks good and cold

How kind of your other baby brother to come clear your yard. We are not getting near as much snow as you are but for us it's unusual enough that schools are closed and people are advised to stay home unless necessary. I finally caved and took down the second Christmas tree. Now my house looks strangely empty. Is the shiney brite tree still shining?

Bonnie said...

Brrr! It even looks cold in that picture. Bless your brother! The wind is howling here today and we could get some more snow in the next few days but luckily nothing like yours.

After all these years of following blogs, I finally worked up the courage to try and start one of my own. Bloggers like you inspire me Connie!

Yes I have not taken it down yet!

Holy Canoli, sister! You definitely get your aerobic exercise! Yes, thank you to your brother! I wish I had one. It was warm but cloudy here so I went out and tried to burn brush but it's foggy in the mornings and everything is damp. I finally gave up! Do you like your steam mop? Enchiladas sound good...I don't think I've ever made them but I've had them. I should put that on my menu! Take care and huddle together for warmth!

Funny how the weather dictates our behavior.

Our snow is going away, but it might be coming to you.

Snow on top of snow is so discouraging. Your other snow probably was not dirty and really didn't need to be freshened.
