Snowed In! Whoo Hoo!
They're saying10 inches on the news, but I think where I am it's closer to 12 - and it's still coming down like gangbusters! They don't plow the roads in my neighborhood, so I'm effectively trapped until some of the bigger trucks tamp things down a bit and I can get my (massively long) driveway shoveled.
Happily, the park is closed anyway, so I don't need to go anywhere and I can stay home and play - it's GORGEOUS! First real snow of the year - not much by the standards of folk who live in real snow country, but for Indiana this isn't half bad. I'd show you, but I left my camera at work yesterday - I could just kick myself *kicks self*
Kettle (my black lab/collie mix) has been bounding around - the snow comes up to her chest and sticks to her back until she looks like a polar bear, and the neighbor's little terriers have to leap in the air like rabbits to move at all, hee hee ^_^
Update: I can see at least three cars stuck on the side of the road from my window - mmmmyeah - I think I'll stay right here thankyouverymuch...
Update the second: I'm about 2/3 down the driveway, very peaceful, my last shoveling for this evening under a crescent moon and Venus in a clear deep blue sky. The road seems mostly passable now, except for some corners where folks still get stuck; I'll tackle the last 1/3 tomorrow and should be good to go. I shall sleep very well tonight!
