My 3 Word Thursday
Yeah. So this is NOT a pic from last Wednesday’s foot of snow. It’s a pic from THIS Wednesday’s FOOT of snow! lol

The ‘forecasters’ (cough-cough) said we’d get ‘A trace to 2 inches’
Ahhhhaaaahhhhhaaaa. Riiiight. OH! And btw, I actually have THREE reindeer in the front yard….one of them is now completely buried.

When Life Gives Ya Lemons?

What to do? What to do with all this snow? Build a ramp! (Length: 10 seconds)

Send in the plows!

Main roads, 5:30AM Saturday Morning. After an 8 inch snowfall overnight.

What am I doing out at 5:30am? Taking Middle Child to work!
Uh, huh, the one who insisted she’d neeever work before 12pm….has arrived at 5:30am on a Saturday. lol.

Personally I’m hoping this is not a recurring shift.

(the only other vehicles out were snow plows….not City plows ~ which is evident by unplowed streets, but private contractors.)

So on top of the snow from this morning, we added another 4 inches by 2pm. So we’ve had about a foot of that beautiful white fluff since late Friday night into Saturday afternoon. Still no plows. The main streets still suck. According to a news report, suburbs of Cleveland (us…) are not plowing as they would normally, ‘because it’s a weekend’. Ah-DUH! Are you kidding me? Everyone who has a tv knew this was coming on Friday! lol. What a bunch of dummies. Give me a break, they don’t have enough personnel to plow on weekends? Jackasses. (There’s another classic example of our tax dollars hard at work.)

Remember when I said 6 weeks ago, “We should make sure the snow blower is working.” ? Yeah. Should have done that 6 weeks ago, rather than find out the belt is shredded the day we need to plow a foot of snow. LOL! But that’s okay, I got to drive to Ace Hardware and get a new belt, on the slippery snow covered hills that didn’t get plowed. ha ha

Here’s also a pic of Shane snow blowing when it’s fixed. And our neighbors roof. I can sit and look at the roof snow for hours. I just love it for some weird reason. And…I’ll bet I have the ONLY kid in the neighborhood who uses a wheelbarrow to schlep in snow to build a ramp on the front lawn. ha ha ha
