So, when we got home from the Youngstown Phantoms game Friday night, Mary and I worked to remove about 6 inches of snowy beauty from the driveway. Before I went to sleep at about 1 a.m., I checked: The snow had stopped!
She had to be at work this morning at 8 a.m. so we got up pretty early and it was dark but it appeared as if we had gotten more snow.
Maybe another seven inches or so. And it was still snowing.
The Kia took one look at the driveway and politely declined. So, once again we hacked at the snow and made a path to the street which, frankly, appeared to have had just one plow run overnight and all he did was block our driveway entrance.
Soon, we were en route for the less-than-one-mile trip to the mall which was, in a word, "treacherous." No sign of a plow on one of the main streets of the city. The only sign of professional services out in the snow was a cop pulling into the Dunkin Donuts. I am not making that up.
The mall was no better: One path plowed on the perimeter of the mall wide enough for one Kia. I got Mary to work and the employee entrance was not even shoveled. They DID give her a bonus for showing up. Me? I got stuck – twice – trying to leave the mall.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the beautiful images. It could be a 15-incher when all is said and done...
FROM THE FRONT DOOR: YOU CAN SORT OF SEE WHERE THE SIDEWALK ONCE WAS. LOOK FOR IT AGAIN IN MAY!
OOPS! LOOK WHO FORGOT TO PUT AWAY THE DECK FURNITURE!
WINTER'S MAJESTIC BEAUTY, ALSO KNOWN AS OUR BACKYARD.
More later,
