The end of January '08 was a time of difficult weather. In two weeks over 3 feet of snow was dumped on us and the wind blew it into impassable drifts. At one time I was stranded in my house for five days as my car was stuck and I couldn't physically walk through the drifting snow to get it anyway. It could have been a pleasant time to relax and enjoy the forced vacation, but I spent most of my time trying to find a way out.
This is a view of my pottery studio from my front porch.
The roughness in the snow was where I walked the day
previous through 3 ft. of snow, the drifting filled my path
in again overnight.
I had sufficient supplies and heat, but I didn't enjoy the confiement.
When I did find a snow plow willing to plow my driveway, the snow berms were pushed up so high I still have to back the 1/8th of a mile back to the house because of lack of turn-around space from the snow. Then shoveling the sidewalk and a path to the studio commenced.
But all is well, now I can come and go as desired.
This is Amby on the sidewalk I dug out. I was worried
about letting him off leash because I couldn't go through
the snow to get him if he decided to bolt.
