A winter storm hit the Cape last night with blizzard conditions continuing through this morning. About 12 inches of snow fell but was blown into enormous drifts by 40 mph winds. The winds are much higher here on the exposed Cape compared with the sheltered Hudson Valley. This is a view of our neighbors home across the street.
The snow has drifted high against our sliding doors out to the deck. The drifts are equally high in front of our garage door. Clearing snow will be the afternoon job but will be no picnic as the winds are predicted to be sustained between 30 and 40 mph until nightfall.
The day will be spent in front of the fireplace.
Hopefully, electricity supply will not be lost.
It will be fun cozying up with you in front of the fireplace - once you finish shoveling, Love, Mary
ReplyDeleteI won't be cozying up in front of the fireplace, but I can relate to the shoveling fun you're going to have. Hope you don't deny Mary the opportunity to join in. Nothing like shoveling powder in a 40 mile a hour wind. Don't forget to shovel down wind or you could wind up with a Big Lebowski moment. Later Jerry
ReplyDeleteIt was tough to breathe the frigid air. I kept having to pop back inside. Cozying up sounds great!
