Greetings from the Arctic Northeast!!

Yep, that's our mailbox. I'm fairly certain that our mail carrier gave an audible chuckle as she passed our house for the next few days following this storm, as it took that long to muster up the energy to dig it out. Needless to say, we missed a few days of service here.

And it's a snowy walk out the front door! Careful, that first step's a doozy!


"Igloo Sweet Igloo"

A view from our front steps.

These steps were becoming the bane of my existence. On either side of them is a build up of snow that the snowblower flings there from the driveway. So as you can see, it took a lot of muscle to shovel that snow up & over the huge mounds. Phew!

Digging out!!

And here is the snow almost up to the top of my legs. Yes, it's really fun to walk in. Well, it's a good workout at least. That's one benefit of record snowfall is that dealing with the aftermath burns a LOT of calories!
