Snow Storm Part 2

Yeah- the plow came! This is the picture of the plow getting suck Tuesday afternoon. We were able to slip out of our neighbor for a few hours. I had a doctor's appointment and Eric headed to the grocery store to get some milk and eggs. He said it was a madhouse and the shelves were pretty bare. The roads were slick, but we were happy to get out before the next snow.
I spent the afternoon walking and taking pictures around the neighborhood. I was really impressed by some of the icicles and snow laden roofs.


This is our next-door neighbor's house, whose windows were totally covered by a sheet of snow.
A big worry for the locals was if the roof tops and porches could handle the weight of all the snow and more to come.
We lost half of our gutter of the side of our house from the weight of the snow.
I sounded like an avalanche when it fell.
Eric spent a few hours Tuesday trying to remove as much snow off of ledges as he could. He also dug out a path in the back yard to take the trash out (not that the trash man is coming, but the trash since Friday night was piling up).


It started to snow lightly Tuesday afternoon and got heavier Tuesday night. Today was a blizzardy day, the snow was heavy and the wind howled. We did not even step out the front door as it was 27 degrees with a wind chill of 9 degrees.
The cat longing to go outside.

The snow and icicle covered windows confirmed that we did not want to venture out. We got another 19 inches of snow. With the latest storm, Baltimore has exceeded the greatest snow total in our history by 20 inches. We are starting to get stir crazy. Audrey has never watch so many videos, Eric is caught up on all his TV shows and our house has never been so clean. It looks like tomorrow will be windy and Eric has more shoveling to do.

When I lived in North Idaho for a few years we had a crazy snow/ice storm season, one of the worse in 50ish years they told us. It was no fun losing power and dealing with all the ice and extra snow... but it was beautiful!

Hang in there you'll be out of it all and OVERLY enjoying Spring/Summer before you know it!
