A little bit of snow
Dec. 11th, 2010 11:07 pmIt started snowing last night just before I went to work for my 12M-10am shift. It was kind of fun looking out the window at the parking lot every few hours. They came and plowed about 2am - when I left at 10am, I couldn't tell where they'd plowed. I gave my colleague a ride home (his wife had dropped him off), and got home shortly before 11am. The last three blocks were kind of exciting - but I did get the car up against the old snowdrift.
Josie went out the front door when I got home - she followed the holes I'd left coming in when she went down the front steps, and stopped when the snow around her was up over her ears. She and Precious have refused to go out since. The back door has a two foot drift keeping the door from opening - I can get open maybe six inches, and the resulting drift is significantly taller than the dogs. The front door only had three or four inches at the door level - but the drift makes it pretty close to level from the front landing. I have shoveled the top landing off - Josie is now going onto the landing, and immediately coming back in.
My guess is a foot of new snow, drifts up to a couple of feet, maybe three.
The car is parked on the odd side of the street, so it doesn't need to move until 8am Monday. We have a party scheduled for 4pm Sunday that may or may not get canceled. I don't have to be out of the house until Tuesday morning. We should be in good shape.
