That’s a bench under there.
There too.
Here, you can see better without all the snow.
With snow.
Without.
With snow.
Without.
With snow.
Without.
This drift is up to my armpits.
This one’s as tall as I am.
There’s a sidewalk under there somewhere.
Up to my knee in snow.
Driving conditions.
The mailman delivered today!
He had to walk through this! I don’t
think he gets paid enough.
Clearing the driveway
January 7, 2010 | 2010, Iowa, Weather, Winter
I had to wait until I could feel my feet again before I posted this. We cleared the driveway, which I’m sure we’ll have to do again in the morning.
We even had to clear part of the highway. I don’t think the snowplows were out today, and I saw they weren’t being sent out tonight. That means the whole highway might be closed tomorrow.
The mail carrier surprised me. He actually tackled a good 2 feet of snow and a huge drift in front of our mailbox to deliver our mail. Thanks, Jerry!
We have lots more digging out in our future. And I hope the LP gas lasts throughout the winter because I don’t think we’ll see the tank until spring. It’s buried under a good 5 feet of snow drift.
And if this were a horror movie? This would be the point when the scary voice would whisper-shout, “Get out!”
How many blizzards can Iowa have in one winter?

I’m not sure I want to know. Unless the answer is “no more.”
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Drinking in the New Year over at Ilina’s

I got to meet Ilina in Chicago last summer. She’s always cooking up something tasty and tempting, and she celebrates 5:00 every Friday with a cocktail. And guess what? She let me kick off the new year with a guest post. Thanks, Ilina! Raising my glass and wishing you a happy New Year!
