Bill hurt his back shoveling. I strained a muscle below my shoulder blade shoveling.
Willie got stuck in the driveway. It took us about ten minutes this morning to get his car to travel a correct pathway through the gluey, slippery snow. He finally headed on his way.
I just watched several hundred pounds of snow go shooting across the deck from our steep-pitched roof. Cats are staying inside until the roof completely empties itself.
We received nearly a foot of snow over the past 24 hours.
There's nothing more exquisitely beautiful and nothing more exasperating.
They called off school in Boundary County this morning. School is in session in Bonner County.
Cars were crawling past here this morning because of the ice under snow, causing slick, slick conditions.
I can hear blasting up at Schweitzer. Gotta get the conditions safe from those avalanches so the skiers can enjoy the gift of a new dump of snow.
There's no moderation, it seems when huge amounts of snow fall. It's miserable trying to get anything done, but it's also a grand treat for the eyes.
Winter has come, but maybe by this afternoon, all the beauty and the misery will turn into yet another seasonal memory.
And, then we'll get ready for the next picturesque dump!

The pictures are beautiful, the tales of slick roads, stuck cars, and shoveling woes are less lovely.
Mother Nature's not much for moderation, that's a fact!

I agree the pictures are beautiful! But I think I'll stay here - where a cold snap means a high in the 60's instead of the 80's... And there is never any ice on the roads.
