Yeah, I'd say six more weeks of winter in Michigan. Not that I have any idea if there was a ground hog who was hardy enough to come out in the 16 inches of snow Wayne County, Michigan received overnight. I do know my boss was bummed that I couldn't make it in today. I guess no one else could either, go figure.
Here are some photos:
BEECH DALY ROAD NEAR FIVE MILE ROAD
Don't be deceived. The above photo is actually a four lane road with nearly a foot of snow still getting cars trapped when they attempt to turn left blanketing the turn lane. It was still like this at dark. Nothing had changed. The road crews are swamped.
WHAT REDFORD SIDE STREETS LOOK LIKE
My street still looks like that. And, my boss wonders why my little car was down for the count. The plows were getting closer. I'm hoping they make it here tomorrow by time to leave for work. That would certainly make it easier. Not sure what kind of humor my boss will be in if I can't make it in again.
MY BACK YARD
Pretty dull and boring. And yes, those are the limbs of the tree that are still lying there from the incident where the tree hit my house since I don't have a chainsaw. All that "fog" is actually tiny snow flakes about the size of fine sugar.
SCAMPERING DOGGIES
EMMA DOES ZOOMIES
Okay, okay there IS a cooler in my backyard. I don't even know why anymore. Probably because its gross. Who knows? There WAS a reason, but now, I don't know. Too much has happened this year.
DOGGLES IS NOT AMUSED
He's my little Napoleon. He hates inclement weather and snow up to his belly is pretty much considered inclement in his book.
THERE WAS MUCH PRANCING
JON'S MOSTLY BROKEN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
It did get us out. But, note the snow on the headlamps and in the wheels. It was a process even for it.
Today is my friend Ruth's birthday. She lives much too far away to go and eat pizza with tonight. I'm sad. I wanted to.
Instead, I spent today pushing people out of our street when they go stuck and clearing away snow, and being hopelessly bored, actually. Snow is boring, people. It's not like I could go anywhere and do anything.
