Another Snow Storm. Think We’ve had Enough?
Posted by Kirk M on 12 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: Life at home
What you don’t see in the above photo is that the paths around the snow mound are the top of a solid base about a foot thick packed down by previous freezing rain and ice storms that came in between the many regular snow storms we’ve had so far this winter. It even held the weight of the snow blower and myself that made those paths (the mound is for my [almost] grandson to play in).
You can get a good idea what kind of snows we’ve had since the first one that came in November from the next photo of our poor shed that houses the lawn mowers, lawn chairs and table, yard tools and other implements of destruction. You also might notice how well we’ve kept the top of that shed free from snow so it doesn’t collapse from the weight like other much larger, much more expensive sheds have that I know of. Think all that snow will melt by late June?
Another 6-12 inches is coming tonight. Hellooo snow blower. Now if only I can find a place to put it. We’re running out of room!

I lived a bit north of you for a few years and I loved the snow. It was like Christmas and Narnia all rolled into one. This feeling got me real wierd looks from the neighbours as I cleared the sidewalk, as i learnt to call it.
Today, at home, it started with frost covered yard and then the sun came out and we basked in sunshine. OK so home is County Wicklow and I wasn’t exactly in T shirt and shorts but it was still really nice. I still miss the real snow though, not the sixteenth of an inch that fell about three weeks ago. And went in hours.

KevanB,
Welcome to my end of town! Sorry for the delay in replying but I spent the day running the snow blower, working the snow shovel, clearing the sidewalk, driveway, backyard parking spot, clearing the snow off the shed roof, finding a place to put more snow and then doing it all over again 4 hours later (yet another rather prolonged snow storm). Don’t know how longed you lived in this area but it obviously wasn’t long enough to get sick of it. Shall I send you some then?
You’re welcome to comer clear the sidewalk at my place anytime you’re back in the area. I’ll keep to coffee, tea, cocoa hot for ya’.
