TOO MUCH SNOW!
>> Monday, April 16, 2018
It started snowing on Friday. And it hasn't stopped.
Saturday, I went to work to do some grading. I left WAY before I was done because it was getting bad. I ended up getting stuck in the parking lot after backing out of my spot:
That's my car in the middle of the driving lane. An hour later, I was finally free.
I saw 3 cars stuck on my 2.5 mile drive home, and then I got stuck in our driveway.
This was the problem: a layer of ice underneath.
Edge of the patio by the back steps.
Looking the other direction. Note the snow up to and over the fence.
Front yard.
Only dry at the bottom.
Same. Gross. My wife refused to hug me. I understood.
AND THEN WE GOT ANOTHER 2-3 INCHES BEFORE 7 PM, so the boys and I headed back out to shovel and snow-blow last night:
The boys built "seats." Same angle as the "edge of the patio" shot from
earlier in the day. Note the extra snow; now it's up over the patio chairs.
In related posts, I had 2 posts recently about this winter's weather: first comparing photos from last year and this year, and second showing what it's doing to my training last year compared to this year. Also, if you missed it, here's Thursday's post about learning the pain in my left foot is bone spurs.
Sidenote: A trail running friend sent me a note yesterday afternoon. She said "Darn snow is messing with the season! I was down at the Zumbro race over the weekend to crew a friend. Out of 130 100 milers, only 20 finished (my friend I was crewing did finish!) Less than half of the field finished the 50 mile and the 17 mile was cancelled. It was an epic year! Zumbro is known for its weird weather, but this year, Zumbro out-Zumbroed itself."
