Old Man Winter

You know, there are lots of good things about living on the top of a hill. We have a nice view and if there is ever a flood I am pretty sure we'll be OK. But there are some downsides - one is it is windy, very very windy.

Old man winter has decided to come and visit changing the temperature from +3 to -9 in 12 hours and bringing snow and high winds. These high winds have created snow drifts in the driveway high as an elephants eye (oh yes a musical reference).

What to do, what to do. My husband is at work and I may eventually have to leave the house and I am not sure I can get the car down the driveway without getting stuck. I guess I will have to suck it up and go out there. The weather network says the wind makes it feel like -19..........

Update

I feel frozen, may never feel my legs again but it is shoveled. My husband better appreciate this - and the wind better keep it clear and not pile up more snow.........

Stupid winter bet this doesn't happen in Mexico

    1. Yes but I don't know how to work it (if you don't know how they can't make you use it). Plus it hasn't been dug out yet.....
