Mo's Manic Monday - Snow
Posted: Monday, January 26, 2009 by Travis Cody in
Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to cruise by MM HQ at the Manic Monday blog. Today's theme is Snow.
Now this is a timely topic because it snowed overnight Saturday and lightly during much of the day yesterday. It wasn't enough to stick on the ground, but the trees got a nice dusting and it looked pretty.
I posted pictures of what our place looked like after the snow we had in December. Here are a few more.
It's hard to tell in this photo, but there was plenty of snow and packed ice between my feet and the pavement. And that snow I was standing in came up well past my ankles. We measured just over 9" in the drive and nearly a foot in some drifts around the building.
This shows some of the ruts we had to deal with to try and get the Liberty out. There was no way we were moving Pam's BMW. And my Liberty nearly got stuck a couple of times. I bought it in southern California and only got the 2-wheel drive.
That's my Liberty to the left. My parking spot is right at the end of the covered parking row. There was 2-3 inches piled up on the vehicle after one particularly windy snow storm. And those steps were slick. At one point we had to trek along the side of the building to be sure of our footing.
This is where we measured nearly a foot of snow on the ground. It's just to the right of the stairs leading down to our place.
It wasn't all pretty. This is a bit of plowed muck at the mall parking lot.
But we got through it. And this guy lasted for quite awhile.
And of course the good news for us is that we don't have this for 4-5 months!
The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event! This is my first time to join here.. Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Have a fun day!
