As the blizzards began, Kelli found refuge at the 3 nines tavern (999) with some co-workers.
After I picked her up, we came home and decided to go for a snowy walk.
The snow was just starting to stick…..
And it wouldn’t be long before the snow was really deep.
By the next morning, you wouldn’t be able to see Riley in the snow.
Time to head in for the night.
The next morning I could bearly see the hot tub.
This was about half-way down the driveway, with snow still coming down. 22.5 inches.
The snow drift by the garage was a little deeper and came in at 31 inches.
Let the fun begin.
This is the picture I took in the middle of the previous video.
The next morning it was back out to finish shoveling.
The biggest pain was the shared part of the driveway.
Those trees usually stand up straight. I hope they survive the storm.
All 4 houses pitched in to do the shared driveway.
While stuck in the house, I worked on a few projects….
Like raising my closet shelf. ( I will later add a second lower shelf)
The driveway was finally done….
But it would be 3 more days before the road would get plowed.
By this point, I was really starting to hate snow.
Being stuck in the house did have its good side, however.
According to http://snow2.co.ho.md.us/Index.asp it looks like they weren’t plowing all night as the snow plows were back at the maintaince building.
With this much cold and water comes big icicles.
My brother claims to have had a 9-10 foot one hanging off his house. I’m still waiting to see that picture. (Update, he showed the picture, and he did have a huge icicle hanging from his roof).
Snowmageddon……
Snowpocalypse……
These were a couple of the monikers given to the snow we received.
Every piece of equipment the county could find to remove snow was used.
Being stuck inside was starting to wear thin….
So Chris swung by after work one evening….
And we all went to Victoria’s for a few beers.
On the day our street got plowed, the second blizzard hit.
We had just enough time to head down to Ellicott City….
And grab a beer at the Diamondback Tavern before they closed. Find Kelli.
On our way home, we found that Outback was still open….
So we had a few beers there.
30 minutes of snow had left a thick dusting on my truck.
Which was of course going to melt all over my garage floor.
Well that’s all for now, time to enjoy a cream soda with whipped cream and forget about snow for a while!!!!
