And the snow just keeps piling up

[wraithfodder]

First, the forecast was for a few inches, then 5-9", then one TV station went 9-14" (!?!) then I gave up and went to bed. We got about 17". GAH!!!

This is the big snowpile at one section of the driveway.

Yeah, you shovel enough snow and you want to play with it ;) I could build an army of Daleks if I had the energy to dig through all the snow! See the car at left (Honda Accord). You can see how big the pile is!




The road with most of snow melted, cuz they probably dumped on enough salt to rot the rust on my car.


Oh, yeah, to the right of the buried mailbox is the driveway. Fortunately (THANK YOU!) the same snowplow driver who very  nicely cleared away the three foot snow-packed-like-concrete section at bottom of driveway cleared it all away! Saved us about an hour's work to clear that.  But you can see how deep the snow is by the shovel height.


Tree in backyard.


This is the dog pen. This shows how deep the snow is. The dog, if he were still alive, would have been in heaven with all this snow. We also would have died of heart attacks digging him little paths all through the yard ;)


I just liked the blue sky, as the sun began to set, over the snow-covered trees.


And lastly, my favorite shot, of my now possessed snow pile. ;)

Fun with snow piles! LOL

Lovely snow landscapes. You have a beautiful piece of property. Looks like good bird habitat. Do you ever see or hear any owls?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the property is nice, if overgrown. I actualy have, in the last two years, actually heard and seen one owl (okay, saw a black shape on the tree that flew off in classic owl looking flight). Would love to see more of them.

Wow. That's so amazing. I can't imagine living somewhere like that.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm beginning to think living in New Mexico or somewhere arid would be nice. getting sick of snow and high heating costs

[seticat.livejournal.com]

Cool! It's 'Jabba the Heap'.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hahahaahah! I think I sahll snerch that name!!

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

I thought the same thing!

[stella-pegasi.livejournal.com]

LOL...that is a perfect name!!!!

[sobelle.livejournal.com]

Definitely needs a LIKE button!!

That was hilarious!

[leesa_perrie]

LOL!!! Excellent!!!

[montybird.livejournal.com]

Love the snow pile. The snow is very pretty, though, despite all the inconveniences! Nice snowplow driver!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I was soooo happy when he came by and offered to do the bottom (cuz he knows how heavy it is). He said town has no idea what they'll do if we get another snow like this!

[sobelle.livejournal.com]

Okay, that is the creepiest possessed snow pile I've ever seen!
(and I had to stop laughing long enough to even type... plus the comment by Seticat "Jabba the Heap" added value! =)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

If I remember, and can find some, perhaps it will get arms tomorrow, or teeth! Neighbors are going to think I'm nuts.

[shansgrl.livejournal.com]

I remember one year my hubby made a Sphinx and a pyramid out of the snow mounds. As much as the snow is a PIA, it's fun to play with the piles.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Cool! I've all the snow I need to make a snowman, Dale, something, but just no energy after shoveling.

[stella-pegasi.livejournal.com]

These are fabulous! I love the possessed snow blob!!!

I see that seticat came up with the best name!

Thank goodness, we didn't get that much snow here...I would be suicidal by now!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I just realized all the roads are getting a lot narrower. Another batch of snow like this and we'll be single lanes! ;)

[kosmikdawg.livejournal.com]

I ♥ your happy monster snow pile. :) Beautiful photos. You guys got a ridiculous amount of snow.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yes, very true (too much snow!)

[2bluaeryn.livejournal.com]

Beautiful pics!

Love the big beautiful tree in the back with the dog pen, really beautiful. I like the snow but here in Texas we have the opposite problems...high cooling bills. If it gets to the 30s around here people are having a fit - LOL!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ha! WE're doing 60 or so in the house as heating oil prices are horrific.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

LOVE the snowpile. Wow, though, so much snow.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[winter-elf.livejournal.com]

SNOW! Pretty, and boy, thank god I don't have to live in it! :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I"m beginning to understand why people retire in Florida now...

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

I love Melbourne! No snow, no water (swan Hill is still waiting to see if they're going to be flooded. It looks like the levy will hold though!) just a nice sunny day that I'M NOT AT WORK! \0/

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hope you don't flood. Ah, a nice sunny day. I'd like one of those, and 74 degrees too.

[hilde.livejournal.com]

You have more snow than I do! It's very beautiful where you live, although all that snow must mean a lot of work...

Love the pictures of your trees at dusk, very pretty :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Oh yes, lots of work. and no way in heck am i shelling out $85 to get the driveway plowed. ridiculous amount.

[leesa_perrie]

LOL! Love the pics - especially the happy and then possessed snowpile!!! Eek!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

If I get bored, I might do something artist to snow alongside road tomorrow ;)

[medaviolet.livejournal.com]

oh, my...
o___o The truth is I've never seen snow since I live in a southern country and super hot!! D: The closest I've been to the snow is what you have a refrigerator in the kitchen! xDU LOL

I love your pile of snow possessed!*^*

Greetings and kisses! ^‿^

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ha! I can't imagine not having snow at least once a year. Not sure if I could deal with super hot.

[black-raven135.livejournal.com]

I hear VERY VERY wet too.......back breaking shoveling
:-/
Been there, done that.......fortunately not now

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, heavy snow. NOt too heavy though... well, the shovel did break. Bolt fell out. Blast. Now gotta rummage basement to find a replacement.

[pavaneofstars.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of snow! Great pics, especially the trees, snow and sky one. :D

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[dieastra.livejournal.com]

Hi! I always immensely enjoy your photographs and I wanted to try my hands on it as well. Since you don't have me on your friends list, I want to link you to my new entry with "Dresden in the snow" pictures: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/53980.html

Hope you like them!

Also, I just realized that I once made indeed a post starting with "this is especially for wraithfodder which is stupid, since you never saw it either ;) What I meant to show you is this, it's called "Pictures looking into the past", where a pic of the same place is taken years later while holding the old picture at the right place. Check it out, it's a really great idea and I want attempt something like that one day: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/75-captivating-looking-into-the-past-pictures
