When I got up yesterday there was only a few inches of snow on the ground. It was actually pretty nice. I got a few laughs from watching my dog run around in it. He'd start putting is nose in it and would paw around for something. He'd look up with snow all over his face.
But it had to keep snowing. I went to the library and signed up with an ISP so I could be online at home. I got home and signed right on, and I've been online pretty much ever since.
I did go out after nine o'clock and shoveled some snow. I thought I would make a path to the garage, but that was in vain. I went out a couple of hours later to find that the sky and ground blended into one white mass colored a darkened orange, and my path was completely gone.
Since then it has snowed non-stop. There's now at least a foot of snow on the ground. I guess a weatherman some where predicted this. I sure didn't expect over a foot of snow to get dumped from the sky with two to three foot snow drifts.
I didn't realize the snow was that deep until I went to start my mom's car for her. The front door wouldn't open so I had to go out the back and walk through a two foot high snow drift in the drive way. I got her car started and went to get the snow shovel to clear off the porch so the door would open. Good thing the porch is covered, because that wasn't to hard. I then treked back through the snow drift to the garage to put the shovel back.
I let my dog out, and shoveled a little area by the back door. I decided to smoke a cigerate to celebrate my mild victory over nature in the hope of catching my breath. I decided to celebrate even more since I was feeling some pressure in my bladder. So I wrote my name in the snow as best I could.
I stubbed out the cigarrette when it was nearly at the filter in an ash tray in the garage that desperately needs to be emptied. I slammed the garage door shut, and headed towards the back door. My dog always dashes to the back door faster than I do and nearly slid into it. I came in and made myself a cup of coffee at six in the morning after being up all night. I hope that when I do go asleep and wake up that more snow has not fallen.
