It has warmed up a bit (if you can call 35 warm) but the damage is done with the snow. We got 9" here close in to the city, but it was over a foot in many places around the area. Still lots of schools, etc closed. We bagged out trip to Myrtle Beach. I think everyone in the Midwest, South, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast will agree that this has been the worst winter on record. And it's only mid Feb!!

Sorry you had to cancel your trip, Deb. Hopefully weather will be much better when you re-schedule.
Barbara & Matt. Rick takes care of the snow removal. I make an insincere offer to help which he declines. I think snow is pretty, for a little while, and only if I don't have to go to work.

That may have something to do with the fact that she does not leave the house, even to get the mail, or fill her beloved bird feeders that I had to shovel a path too so that I could fill them. 
And that I was the one that spent about two hours on our vintage Wheel Horse garden tractor clearing our driveway of the 15" of wet heavy snow this afternoon when it turned to freezing rain. 
We got a couple of more inches tonight. So I get to have "FUN" again tomorrow.

Billy, I like that 3rd shot, the march of the wiper blades. 
Zip, my Honda snowblower has handled everything this year except the f'n mess the snow plow left me last week. In fact, a neighbor came to my rescue and his Kubota with a shovel was really stressed because it was so high and so hard.
