I found my steps buried under a few feet of snow!

 

 I had such good plans! We had plenty of warning about this blizzard and record breaking snowfall. So prepared I was....last night I went out and shoveled the 2-3 inches of snow from my driveway and front steps. Not too bad, it was a heavy snow.  Yes, I was going to stay ahead of this one. Figuring if I did this every couple hours, it would be a piece of cake.  Took a nap...slept well..woke up sore from the exercise... Ha..The next time I looked...where did my driveway and steps go?

It is soooo pretty but there is soooo much work to do.

Lenn Harley wrote a post earlier this morning and I commented " Beauty abounds as long as we have internet and electricity. Thank goodness for a backup generator which turned on only once during the night. Only one of the four TVs are working. My snow shovel and I are having multiple dates today. 

The male and female cardinals make excellent supervisors. Glad I put the camera in my pocket. Figure by the time I shovel the driveway (no time soon) and my front steps which are done... the plow might get here.''

So what does this have to do with real estate?  Take a look at a  few properties that you could Forget the Snow...Live in a Condo! 

 

Baltimore Snow is For the Birds! Beautiful birds! So glad I filled the feeders in preparation for the snow!

The snow is pretty, and the cardinals in the snow-covered trees are pretty, but after looking at all that snow, I'm cold.

You sure are getting hit this year....and here...the groundhog says..spring is just around the corner..Yahoo...been there/done that when the snow banks were level with the roofs of cars...and you, like me, would rather see it on Christmas cards than the front steps....we'll think of you !

Margaret, I love the Cardinals, I was just in TN where they had a huge snowfall. The Cardinals were out in abundance, of course they are my favorite bird. I am from Ky where it is out state bird, so grew up loving them.

Jim, This snow is beyond pretty. I am in awe of the surrounding beauty. More birds to photograph for some eye candy. I saw a red headed woodpecker...now to capture him is another challenge.

Sally, Still have not done our driveway...the plow has not gotten to our street yet. Watching my neighbor digging their carout. Thankful we have a garage.

Missy, Having my own private bird show this morning! The cardinal is also the state bird for Virginia, my home.

Hi Margaret!  Great shot and I just love the little cardinal--send him home to NC where we have no snow!  (I'm rather bummed that we don't--if it's going to be this cold, I want the white fluffy stuff to go along with the temperature!)

Enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday...

Margaret, I thought of all of you that I know in that area this weekend. We had 4 inches last weekend topped by an inch of ice. Most we've had in almost 20 years!

Hi Margaret- I think watching the birds is the best thing about the snowstorm. Of course we put the feeders a little closer to the house and now birdseed is everywhere including IN the house. LOL. Stay safe as the next one hits us. I have already started chanting 'this too shall pass' 'this too shall pass'. :0)

Loreena, Still pretty but also a lot of work.

And My Street is Not Even Plowed! Baltimore is Not Just for the Birds!

Martha, Have our feeders hanging on the tree...the mess is there. Have a pretty good zoom on the camera. This too will pass. :)

Sally, Sounds like time for comfort food and lots of napping.

Christine, Maybe we will learn how to better deal with the road situation. Your sunset on the beach is making more than a few people jealous.
