Snowy Sunday

Sounds like this will be our last Snowy Sunday due to lack of interest. I didn't know that when I picked pictures for this post. I usually look for the beauty in the snow and some of you may still see the beauty in these pics but all I see is a "whole lot of shovelin' goin' on!"

Laurie and I found these cute sparkly snow signs real cheep. I hung mine on the wreath I had on the door for Christmas. Some around here might report me for having a swear word on my house!

I did not add anything to these pictures. It was early morning light,while I was out shoveling, that gives them the blue cast. This is the walk way to the beauty shop. As you can see the snow is as high as the handrail. I now have to throw it all over the rail.

This is the other side. I assume that under all that snow my primroses are making their buds.

This is the path that leads to the stairs.

Where the walks all come together. My front door to the right and the front walk to the left. Way to the right is the sled I have leaning on the house. It's almost buried in the snow.

This is the pile on the end of my driveway. Yes, that is a yardstick, not a ruler! And yes, I have shoveled all that snow! I do have a small snow blower that I use when it's real deep and heavy or when the plow goes through and plows in the end of the driveway. I can't use it on the walkway to the shop so I usually just keep shoveling. I don't use it when I get home from work and the plow has gone thru either because it's too late at night to make all that noise. When I do shovel I have to carry the snow to a different area because the piles are so high. It's a good thing we had a good thaw half way thru and got rid of most of that snow. I'm really not doing this post to complain but to show you just how much snow we have here in western NY this year. Our side streets are all very narrow because there is no place to put all the snow. They remove the snow on some of the main streets and throw it into the river.

YEA!! I shoveled 4 to 6 inches yesterday morning and it didn't snow much yesterday so I don't have to shovel today!!! Makes up for the days I have to shovel 3 times. We are in the 30's today some we might have a small melt down.

Snowy Sunday!

It's not hard to take snowy pictures around here again this week. We've bypassed last years snowfall already and have had about 140 inches which translates into 12 feet!
What the heck made these tracks under my bird feeder? Any ideas?

I found these at an antique store and had one added on each side of my windowless entry several years ago.

Update: I got a job in the first store on my list with the manager from my original store. I requested this store because he knows I do well in the service desk/night office, which is what I prefer to do. I start on Tuesday. Several full time employees were demoted to part time with pay cuts and benefit cuts. Several long time employees came back at closing for a party and were still there when I left at 8:15.

Snowy Sunday

As of Christmas Eve day we have had 84 inches of snow so far this season. We didn't have this much until mid February last year!

I woke up to 60 degrees this am and my back yard looks like this.

Since it is so nice out and I'm supposed to be showing snow pictures, I decided to change my window box from Christmas to winter.

We are having very high winds today and the forecast calls for snow and thirties the rest of the week but it's nice to have a little reprieve. I hope you are having a great Sunday!

Snowy Sunday!

We had what they are calling a 'wintery mix' on Friday. First it snowed 4 to 6 inches and then we had rain, sleet and wet snow. This 'mix' went on most of the day. When I left work at ten it was a misty rain. In the morning it was 12 degrees! These pictures are a result of the mess we had and what you see is mostly ice crystals.

The sun was shining most of the day Saturday and it looked like the yard was full of diamonds. I wish I could have captured it with the camera. For more Snowy Sunday posts or to join the fun stop over and see Chris and Laurie.

An update on yesterday's post: Someone checked out the union book and even as a part time employee have the right to bump someone with less seniority. Since there is such a turnover, and some over me have decided to quit I am only the 5th cashier on the list. I may not get office right away but that's okay. A rep from Human Services is supposed to come in and talk to everyone. Thanks for the concern!
