We're all ready for spring!!!
It's still snowing her in Oswego County, NY. Last week the lake effect continued for about a week, with some towns receiving WELL over 100". Tuesday night a Noreaster hit and ended last night. We received about a foot here. Now a little bit of lake effect is kicking in again. Shoveling is getting old....the snowbanks are so high in some places that it's very difficult to throw the snow over them. I often have to push the snow to another lower bank. Needless to say, I'm getting lots of great exercise this month!
The photo above is a view out the back door, looking at our garage and driveway. The poor Neon has been sitting for over 2 months now, waiting for it's fate. You can see the piles of snow on the porch railings of our neighbor's house...which is vacant now...so no one has shoveled in the past month.
Another view out the back door, looking at the side of the garage. That pile was a lot higher until the kids played on it. It was easily more than halfway up the side of the garage!

A view looking out our front door. You can see the trash can across the street and the bank next to it. Most are much higher than that...and you have to remember that a lot of the snow has compacted.
A closeup of the neighbor's garage across the street and the houses behind.
This is looking out our front window to the left. That maple tree is at the edge of our driveway and the telephone pole is at the other side. Those banks are so high, I cannot throw the snow over them anymore. I have to push most of the snow from the bottom of the driveway up to where the little apple tree is(on the left side of the photo).
