Sue spent Saturday clearing her driveway, walkways to the side and front doors, and paths on this patio for her dog to frolic. And, she had to shovel snow away from her outdoor grill and hot tub, and clear snow from the fire hydrant in front of her house.
Sue reports that the snow on her front walkway was up to her waist. She had to break through four foot mounds where the town's snow plows had piled snow at the start of the front walkway.
For those who are not familiar with New England architecture, this photograph of Sue's garage shows the advantage of our steeply pitched roofs in shedding heavy snowfalls. Sue, thanks for lending me this photograph. I hope your muscles are all recovered from Saturday's workout.
I was in Florida playing golf, but I was thinking about my friends in New England . . .
That's a dramatic picture. Now I remember why I left the north land behind!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow. Very hard to imagine what it must be like
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable Jack.. I can see why you emigrate to Florida through the winter, 25/30c sounds much better, especially as you are a golfer, putting in waist deep snow..tricky haha!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue! Now I know why y'all have such steep roofs. I imagine that would help in heavy rainfall too, but we might need a moat around the house!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is beautiful but the images on the news are awful and scary! Lucky you in sunny Florida, Jack.
ReplyDeleteLovely to look at but definitely not a great deal of fun when dealing with it. Now is the right time to have a snow removal service, but i wonder how long it would take them to get to all their customers. Real heart attack weather.
ReplyDeleteAn icy meal perhaps? Seen from here it is so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteGee, I bet you're sorry you're in Florida and missing all of this, Jack!!! But have to admit I'd rather enjoy it from a distance, too! That is a LOT of snow!!
ReplyDeleteNice shot to tell the CT story.
ReplyDeleteAmazing post! Thanks to both of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks to your friend for this beautiful picture...
ReplyDeleteWow, that is quite a lot of snow and it sounds like Sue really did have to spend an entire day getting it cleared enough to move around. Too bad you missed all this...:-)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful to look at but my arms are still aching from all the shovelling we did here and we only got 1/2 the amount of Connecticut!
ReplyDeleteLucky you to be in Florida. Hope you have someone looking after your house.
ReplyDeleteShe did a good job, this is a great winter scene.
ReplyDeleteFine photos. Nice thing about being snowed in is having time to blog and work on photos.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! We could use that snow here.
ReplyDeleteI bet you really are enjoying that Florida weather!
ReplyDeleteFlorida was a great place to be this week! Love the snow shot, though. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good round of golf! ;) I spent the day shoveling, but I did manage to get some photography in. I was disappointed in that I couldn't walk as much as I wanted to. No sidewalks had been cleared, and the main roads were still pretty much snow-covered, and treacherous to walk on with the traffic. Needless to say, I didn't drive anywhere this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI just have no concept of that much snowfall... Seattle is fairly paralyzed by 6"... glad you're out of the storm..
ReplyDeletePoor Sue...having to dig her way out of that! The only thing you may have been digging out of was a sandtrap....if things went awry.
ReplyDeleteHope everything is fine there, all this snow is so impressive!Please stay safe dear friends!
ReplyDeleteLéia
What a shame you missed seeing this in person, Jack. :))
ReplyDeleteI have seen that much in a single snowfall before. It's a lot to deal with.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot, Sue!
I think I prefer the summer version. But it still looks nice.
