A view of our street. This was about 11:00am and many of the neighbors were out in full force trying to dig out. At least the snow plows came through and cleared the streets, unlike the last blizzard we had a few weeks ago on December 26th.

It Feels a Little Like Siberia
I've never been to Siberia, but whenever I see it in the movies, there is always snow, snow and more snow. I'm starting to feel like we could live there. We had 2 snow storms yesterday. Yes, people, 2 separate systems pummeled our area giving us a whopping 19 inches! They said on the news that this is the snowiest January ever recorded in NYC. Seriously, a snow blower is on my 2011 Christmas wish list! When we awoke this morning, it was like deja-vu. Everything we shoveled yesterday, came right back today. Our driveway was completely shoveled, not anymore!
Remember that mound of snow I posted yesterday? Well, now we have two mounds of snow in our front yard! All of this snow is from our driveway. Since our driveway is so narrow, the only place for the snow to go is on the lawn.
To give you an idea of how tall these mounds are, here I am standing next to it. I'm 5 foot 3 and the mound is as tall as I am! That chain link fence is 4 feet tall.
Thank goodness we bought another shovel!!
I just have to laugh at how there is a snow bank in front of my house!
At least we have a driveway. This is my neighbor's car in front of our house. It's entirely covered except for the black side mirror. Happy winter everyone, hope where you are is sunny and warm!!

Wow, that's unbelievable! Oh, i'd just sit down and cry if we got that much snow...
ReplyDeleteWe got 12" total yesterday and last night. We usually get more here then you do....This year it's the opposite!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll quit griping about our weather now cause we haven't had anything like ya'll have.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Here in Seattle we have been praying for at least 1 small storm... but maybe we should count our lucky stars instead!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow! It would be tough to find a place to stack it all.
ReplyDeleteOh my! That's a lot of snow!! I heard that another storm may be on the way to you next week! Hopefully it won't warm up real fast or then next thing you will be dealing with is flooding...Please keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. WOW! I hate to tell you it's 70 and sunny as I'm cooking dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe this?!? Enough already. And we're not even halfway through winter.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on the news today and just can't imagine it. I remember seeing your post from the other day with the freshly shoveled driveway. I guess you all are pretty sick of snow. Your hat is cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I didn't realize that you ended up with 19-inches from the last storm! Where the heck do you put all that snow at this point?!? I hope that will be it for a while and allow for some melting.
ReplyDeleteWow!! That's monster snow!! Stay warm!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I've been reading about all the snow you've been getting but, well, seeing your photos... I don't know what to say, what a pain! I hope you get a break soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, I just talked to a friend in NYC and she said you guys just beat some January records! crazy.
ReplyDeleteWhere will it all go in spring. When the boys made snowmen their remains were the last to disappear. Maybe you can make it into an outdoor fort (in the spirit of reuse/recycle)
ReplyDeleteDebs in Washington the state (north of Seattle) where the ground is all squishy and wet.
Good grief! That is a LOT of snow! No thanks! I'm so ready to be out from the white blanket we've got out there! Is it Spring yet?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you have to deal with so much snow but I have to admit that I love watching places south of us getting snow. This is what our city looks like half the year :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I can see who has been stealing our snow!!
ReplyDeleteSend it back, will you? We've been short-changed all winter.......
I'm jealous! I wish we were getting all that snow in Montreal! It's as if the snow clouds are avoiding us... we who usually have such snowy winters.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of you since my last comment talking about how I love snow. The day or so after I said that, your huge snow amounts, and predictions of more were on the news. I don't think I'd like that much at a time. We had more than usual last year, and it did delay the early spring lettuce planting a bit.
ReplyDeleteI hope yours melts slowly and doesn't cause flooding.
