The Winter of Our Discontent


In case you haven't heard, we here in the Middle Atlantic States have been under a blizzard seige since the month of February started. On Wednesday, we got hit on top of the 28" inches we already had on the ground. This is my road early Thursday morning, which you can see had been plowed but was still snow covered and very slippery, but beautiful.

Not everyone is unhappy. Sam just loves it, although it is so cold that these snow piles are crusted over and he does not even sink in.

It is hard to show you what 44 inches of snow looks like but let's just say that this fence, around our property, is five feet tall. Yes, you read that first number correctly. According to the radio yesterday morning, we here in the Philadelphia area have had 44 inches of snow in the first ten days of February--to put that in perspective that is over 10% of the amount that Philadelphia has ever received in the history of the city.

We have had to dig trenches for the dogs to be able to go out in the backyard. Needless to say, our backs are sore, and we are beginning to wonder what is going to happen when it all begins to melt. Did anyone say mud?
