The snow is still falling at 11:45am, but, it is falling slowly now. As i was looking out the front window, I noticed this yellow vision coming down the road. It was my Son, bringing the backhoe! He owns Birch Mountain Earthworks and has all the right equipment needed in this weather. Actually, they have rental, bobcats, etc., but today no one can get out. People will be reserving equipment for tomorrow. That will be our major dig out day. I have a few listings that will need help in that regard. For today, thanks to him, my driveway is clear, my 4Runner has been cleaned off and ready to go. My lab jumped in the truck, to go for a ride. Sorry, Jack, not today! Yes, I have four wheel drive vehicle, but where would we go? Everything, they say, is shut down. A policeman posted on Facebook, to stay home, because Dunkin Donuts is closed! (LOL!)
Our Governor has asked everyone to stay off the roads, except for emergencies and snow clearing businesses.
This photo, was taken late, yesterday!
Had to make paths for him, today! He loves chasing sticks, that we throw in the yard. Who knows where they are now!
What you don't realize when you look at the photos, is that the wind is blowing the snow and it is bitter cold. The snow is not heavy, but, blows back on you as you try to clear it. It seems like we probably had eighteen inches of real accumulation. The drifting is causing some higher amounts here and there.
Plow trucks are getting stuck and most of our roads are still not ready. It's getting brighter outside. Maybe, the sun is going to come out, afterall?
Some people are without power and they will be working on that for awhile. With the high winds, it's not wise to have buckets up in the air!
Stay safe, everyone in New England! We're living in a Winter Wonderland! Spring is around the corner!
