The snow keeps coming down. I just don't think it's ever going to stop! Yesterday, I walked up to the local hardware store to get a snow shovel. I called them before I left to make sure they were open. The guy who answered the phone said "Yes, we're open." So, I headed out. I took this picture of the creek behind our house on the way.
Pretty! When I finally made to the hardware store, they were closed! A lady in the parking lot said they had just run out of snow shovels and decided to close. Argh. I was pretty ticked at having walked all that way when they said they were open. The snow was up to my knees anywhere someone else hadn't already made a path, so it was tough going. Oh, well, I got my exercise.
The snow was so bad that Mick couldn't get out yesterday. Well, his battery was dead, so that didn't help anything. His good friend Jerry came to the rescue and took him to the store to get new batteries (his truck takes 2 batteries). Jerry has a big 4-wheel drive truck and chains. Today, Mick put in a new battery, got all the ice and snow off his windows and made a go of it.
I was worried that he would have trouble getting up the hill.
But, he made it.
Look at these poor bushes, weighted down with snow. They are the type of bushes that grow really tall and skinny and straight, not the kind that have any sort of horizontal branches.
I'm going to walk to the grocery store now. It's 34 degrees by my thermometer, so maybe some of it will go away.

I would have been so mad at that store, esp since you called! Hopefully, it will all end soon. I am sure you have had your snow fix for a long time!
