We've Only Just Begun







Bill just called the office and said he would be late.

He's already done half a day's work, plowing out the snow DUMP we received last night.

We plowed twice yesterday, so this morning's job would probably have been impossible if we hadn't gotten a start on it.

I have not seen this amount of snow at one time since we moved here.

And, yes, as the title suggests, we've only just begun.

The BIG DUMP is coming today, and, as you can see by the photos (if they all show up) that it's already arriving.

We are supposed to get those 35 mph winds too.  

Already, this morning a fair amount of wind has done its damage, blowing off one of the plastic light panels off the barn. 

Another is about to go, and I'm betting horses are going to be spooked hearing that wind whistle through those holes when they go in tonight.

I was feeling pretty facetious, sarcastic---whatever you want to call it---yesterday when I took a light approach to our morning fluff.

Today, there's no light approach, and it's looking like serious stuff, designed to make the biggest mess possible.  

I'm trying to imagine the work my sisters have over at their place with their three driveways.  It takes them hours to plow on a normal day.

They'll probably be at it well into the night with this storm.

My daughter-in-law says they have no power over at their house, so she's planning to hunker down and read a book----by the window, of course.
Yup, we've got a mess and a bigger one yet to come.

So, today, we'll just try to stay ahead of it, and with a smiles on our faces, cuz tonight the ZAGS are playing their last regular season game.

So, we can take our tired bodies, sit back and watch Stephen Gray play his last game at McCarthey and see that ZAGS win one more before the tournament begins this weekend. 

GO ZAGS!!

I'd say "GO SNOW," but I don't think it's gonna get the message very soon.
