This is the Aspen Trunk Wastebasket
Here's a picture of the moccasinsWell..... the wind howled and it stormed and snowed all night - all day yesterday as well. This morning it's not snowing (at the moment) but the wind is still very strong. It blew a lot of the front yard clear of snow down to the ground including the driveway. The front porch has snow piled up to the window. The front walk is totally bare, an anomaly. There is a 5' drift packed against the garage door however, extending out about +20'. It's garbage day but although I can't see that corner directly, I bet the garbage can - which sits beside the garage door - is buried in the snowdrift.
The back deck is piled about 4' deep, being blown off the roof, and snow in the back yard is at least up level with the deck. In the back yard snow has to be 4 or 5' deep there in places - since the deck must be 4' off the ground - i.e. yard level with the deck and more deep drifts piled on the deck. I put the dogs out the front door this morning because once down the steps they can walk around there and do their business. It all changes around hourly. Not sure it got as cold as they predicted. We're supposed to have snow for the next week. I'll take some pictures. The sun is trying to shine and there's patches of blue sky.
Later in the morning the dogs were ready to go out. They dove off the corner of the deck and were able to get over to the part of the yard which isn't very deep. Raven frolicked around for a while. Sparky watched. Then coming back Sparky tried to jump back up at the corner and got hung up. He rolled his eyes back and forth between jumping back up and coming up the totally drifted stairs. Raven made a track up the stairs and finally Sparky decided that was the lesser of the two evils and came up Raven's track. The snow was over his back.
I can see several of the neighbor men out clearing their drives with shovels and snowblowers and getting their garbage cans out to the street. And the big snow plow is going around clearing the roads, so they are on the ball with that.
I flushed the picc line myself yesterday, and likely will stay home and do it again today. Can't get the car out. But we are arranging to hire Gina's grandson Scott to come. He has a snow removal business. He might be able to come later this afternoon. Doing laundry. Might try to hook up my new printer. I heard there was to be a planned power outage on Sunday, but don't know for how long.
