Snomageddon, Week 2

We woke up this morning to yet another big snow. The weatherazzi was pretty much on target with this one. It was just about the same as last week's snow - we got about 6 inches here at The Compound. Schools were closed today and are closed again tomorrow, but today the roads seemed clearer than they did last week. But we were ready for it, though. I made one last trip to Wal-Mart last night for provisions (frozen pizzas and lettuce) and Dad had the snow blower parked in the front of the garage for easy access.

Once again when I got home the driveway was cleared thanks to Dad's efforts. I grabbed the snow shovel and went out to the end of the driveway and shoveled a patch that was wet and heavy for the blower to get and then just stood back and admired our nice clear driveway.

Snow is in the forecast for just about every day for the next week. Bring it on. We've got plenty of firewood hauled up by the house, have plenty of gas in the cans for the snow blower and have a fully stocked refrigerator, freezer and pantry. And on top of that, my new winter hat should be arriving any day now. So yep, bring it on.
