Has everyone dug their way out of Snowmageddon 2013?
Unfortunately I was unable to stay home on Friday; it was a bit of a treacherous drive in both directions. The worst part was coming out to find this in the afternoon – just 5 hours of accumulation:
And arriving home to find that we were unable to get in the driveway…
And so the shoveling began! We had some help, kind of:
We only got through about half of it (it’s a 6 car driveway) before calling it a day. A while later we heard a snow-blower outside and discovered that one of our new neighbours was finishing the job for us. He wrote a thank you note in the snow and I realized that it was a man who lives 2 doors down – I found his 4-month old puppy running down the street a couple of weeks ago and knocked on doors until I found his home. Nothing like a little neighbourly good karma to make you feel warm and fuzzy in a snow storm. Pay it forward…
And then we enjoyed lots of play time in the winter wonderland with Miles throughout the weekend.
As for running, well… I didn’t do any. And I am okay with that right now.
Love the pictures of Miles in the snow and the thank you note from your neighbor is very cute. Happy to hear you are safe and dug out!
A 6-car driveway?! Whoah. And you got through half of it. Impressive…It’s OK to take the weekend off from running when there is snow to play in!
Doesn’t matter that you didn’t run. It looks like Miles did enough for the both of you. Those photos made me smile.
Oh Marlene! I can’t believe the snow! We have a big driveway too and it is exhausting! I love the neighborhood feel. I never get tired of pics of miles and your happy lil family. Hope things are improving.
Good to hear you’ve a great neighbour and the snow pics look awesome.
We got a lot of snow too – Once I was home Friday night I didn’t leave my house (except for run) until this morning. I just had no motivation to go out in the bad conditions and slush.
maurlene, you must buy some more cars to fill up the driveway! duh!
glad you enjoyed a weekend in the snow. hope all is well with my favourite m&m(&m) family!!
Glad you guys survived the snow!
Wow, that is a lot of snow! Glad you guys are okay out there. Too bad you had to go into work!!
I am so happy we didn’t get hit too hard in NJ. I am seriously not a fan of snow and even though I have lived in NJ through 31 winters, I will never get used to it!
The south east and north west of the country are swapping weather systems – my run was on pavement tonight for the first time since October!
These pictures are awesome and a great reminder of why I enjoy living in Texas and don’t miss the snow one bit…….
I love the pictures. You are awesome. I hope that the summer will come soon.
Then we can again run / bike / swim outside.
Yeah for your neighbors! We bought a snow blower this year and i believe we jinxed it, no snow yet. But i’m totally ok with that
Yeah, I don’t think running would’ve been great in that crazy storm! Glad you made it out alright though, I can’t believe how much accumulation there was in such a short time!
Wow, I can’t even imagine what that must have been like! We get flurries here and the entire city shuts down, lol! I love the pics…I’d like to experience that kind of snow one day. But only for one day.
