As If That Wasn't Enough!

As if we haven't had enough snow yet, we had another foot on Wednesday night.  It has really piled up now and the forecast shows no warmer temperatures for the next two weeks.  The street didn't get plowed out until late morning, long after our caregiver would have been here if she could get down the street!

How the snow goes over that planter and hangs down like it does I have no idea, but it does.  However, the drift below has grown as well so from my vantage point the gap between them has shrunk to very little.  Compare that to the last photo of my last post.

Mrs. F.G. took the camera and tried to get a picture of the giant snow cap on our planter, to show how it curves over toward the east.  Our prevailing breezes are from the west, so it pushes the snow to the east forming this giant one-sided mushroom cap..

The town plow and our own snowblower guy got here in late morning and blew out the drive.  The two plows timed it well, for the town plow came by a few moments after the other, leaving a big ridge across the front of our driveway, but this guy was still on the street, so he came back and blew that away too.

The pile beside the drive has crept above six feet now, and our small Tulip tree on the far left is half-buried!  I hibernate from first snow til it melts in March, except for getting out in a vehicle to physio, lunch and sometimes church.
