It snowed a few inches on Monday. Yesterday, it snowed nonstop, and when I mean nonstop, I mean literally for at least 24 hours at an average rate of 1 inch per hour. There is over a foot of snow on the ground right now. There has been no school yesterday and today, and there will be no school tomorrow. A lot of transportation has stopped, there are lots of truck drivers parked in front of the Trail's End restaurant because they can't go anywhere. Bowling tonight has been canceled, and no truck drivers means I can't work tonight. It looks beautiful here, but at the same time it's really harsh. I think we're lucky we still have power. Then again, we haven't had any ice storms yet.
It was a little windy today, so when I was walking between the shop and the old office at the lumberyard, the air felt like it was freezer-burning my face. There are drifts that are up to 4 feet tall, and piles of snow cleared from the driveways are practically mountain ranges. If they were a little bit taller and closer to the big sheds, I would be able to climb up on top of the roof of each shed. Behind one shed, I found a gigantic drift that could practically bury the riding mower completely if it were there. I dug out a cave inside it.
Sometime, when conditions are right, I want to build a gigantic snow sculpture in the backyard, maybe of one of my bird people sitting on a throne.
