Snowmageddon, part II

The snow is deceptive, walking along and then
BOOM, snowdrift.
I really, REALLY hate snow.
 
 
Back fence, 4.5 foot drift

 
Driveway is almost clear, until the road.
House next door had 3-4 foot drifts.

 
Towards the road.

  2. It's still coming down, er, sideways rather. Had a 78-mph wind gust last night that knocked out the power.

    Next dumbass that feels a need to tell me about their sunny, warm weather is going to get my snowboot up his ass, yeah?

  8. I'm starting to have my doubts as to the fact that you actually live in Texas! It's one of the few states I've never been to, and I have always been under the impression that it was warm there. I thought maybe in some rare, freakish situation you might get a skiff of snow, but the pics you have posted don't fit that model!

  9. timbo, I'm in the Panhandle. The only thing between us and the North Pole is barbed wire, and the fence is down.

  10. Oh come on! the North Pole is not in Oklahoma, I grew up, or rather spent the first ninteen years of my life in Minnesota. I have had a snowball fight on the fourth of July, even though the powers that bee claim it has never snowed in July there. And even though she is not here to take the blame, I must say, Mom started it.
    Look on the bright(er) side, in North Dakota, summer is an official state holiday, and if it lands on a Friday or Monday, you get to celebrate for the entire weekend!

  14. Just now watching the news and they say it's been snowing a little in the Panhadle? Is that true?

  15. Millwright, you Kansas boys are probably laughing your asses off at me. That's fine, you have that right; whereas wirecutter and all the Kali beach bums can kiss my chilly white ass.

    yeah, rpm, just a bit. Why do you ask? ~dudes~

  16. If it makes you feel any better I just stuck my hand in the freezer.

  17. We're all having fun after a shitty day at work.
    So, thanks.

  19. ROFLOL...
    Hope your day is getting better Angel...

    Warmer too...

    Is it still snowing?

  20. Snow stopped at 16 inches, and our low tonight will be a balmy 12 degrees.

  21. I woke up to a cold, wet morning this morning - first rain in a couple of months, and only 63 degrees. Good for the grass, which has been brown for some time, but freezing for round here. I'm told it's considered rafting weather in Oregon. Some people are insane...

    And to think that if I had my way I'd be moving to Idaho if I could get past immigration (it seems that you're not welcome if you won't vote democRat and/or insist on working for a living).

    ReplyDelete
  22. I see bare dirt in your pic, which tells me you better bring some tranqs with you to mellow yourself out if you move to Idaho....

  23. It wasn't so much the snow, Miss V, as the 75-mph wind gusts, the 5-ft drift separating the bare driveway from the road to freedom, and being stuck in the house with a bitchy hubby and two cranky teens.

    If I can move to Idaho alone...

  24. Yeah, the wind is a bitch. That is ONE thing about WYO I don't miss, because the wind blows there 24/7.

    The wind has been mild here this winter, which is NOT the norm and the drifts we usually get are bad, especially in the farmed areas. In some places they stack two reflector posts on top of each other because the snow will drift so badly on the roads in some places. In WYO there were snow fences along the roads, but here they don't use them because they get in the way of moving all the giganic farm equipment. Which if they didn't farm right up to the black top wouldn't be a problem...all in all, we haven't had too bad of a winter this year. We're moving to our Idaho property this summer, which means next winter will probably be a bitch! Guess who will be in charge of snow removel? Yep, me. ;)
