This morning I got up to blizzard number 2. Yet, it's official this is yet another blizzard in an area of the country that sometimes doesn't see enough snow to measure. Here are a few pictures of what it looked like at 11:00 this morning.
Looking out the office door towards the big tree on the other side of the paved training area.
The gate you can just barely see in the middle, right-hand side of this picture is 48 inches tall. This is an area where there are no drifts, or at least no drifts yet. You can also see the double gates, keep in mind they are 84 inches tall.
This next one was taken looking out the office door towards the back yard. The fence in the foreground, what you can see of it, is 48 inches tall. Looking out to the back and you are looking at 84 inch high fencing. Yes, that one tree is slowly being sucked to the ground.
This picture is taken looking out the window in the little room off the kitchen. You are looking at the roof of the shed and Jesse's truck.
Now, to help you with the perspective here is the same view as it looked last Friday morning.
While I worry about my trees and the lines that keep me in contact with the outside world, others are having to worry about the integrity of their roofs, how to stay warm because they are without heat and have been for days and days. Guess I shouldn't be whining so much, but I still HATE SNOW.

I am so sorry for what you're going through down there, and sad that all that nice snow is being wasted on people who don't appreciate it, don't want it, and don't know what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteAs for the global warming - I have a friend who grew up in Philadelphia who remembers regularly skating on the Schuylkill River when he was a boy, and tells me that hasn't been possible in many years now. Global warming is long-term climate change. What you're seeing is just a spot of unusual weather. I hope things get back to normal for you soon.
