All Clear

I weathered the storm with no issues. Tuesday was a strange, windy, overcast day. It didn't seem like it was snowing but by the end of the day we were left with two feet of snow. 4+ feet in areas the wind blew snow drifts. 

It took awhile to shovel especially when you're throwing snow above your head. Not a lot of people were out shoveling Tuesday so Tuesday night while I was working on the dreaded end of the driveway section and took a break and shoveled out the fire hydrant across the street. Part way through, I look up and see the old man that lives across the street. In the dark lonely night, being the sole person outside,  I see him backlit looking out of a second floor window. A little later I see him looking out a different window while I continue to work on my driveway. It was a strange moment. 

Here are pictures from this morning. You can see how high the piles are at the end of the driveway. 

And the sidewalk is up to my waist only. 

And on my walk to the bus stop the sidewalks are even higher. 

And the piles loom over you - towering almost 10 feet high.

Thank you for the variety of images, both written (the man across the street at night) and the humongous snow paths. What a high snow hedge you have to walk through to the bus!

Your driveway dig-out is impressive. I can just see the snow mountain that resulted - wooh! little horsies!

We had a snowstorm once the created mountains taller than Dad and frustrated the cats as there was no way out but the driveway.
