More snow

[HRM Resident]

Yesterday, I finally got bare ground in most of the
driveway and yard (where I drive and walk: there still are
significant piles 2-3 feet deep elsewhere.) It was a week
of breaking ice with a pick axe and steel shovel. Yes, I am
slower these days.

Now that things are nice and clean, by early this
afternoon, Mother Nature has decided to fill it all in
again! Well, I will remember this come Mother’s Day! :-)

Yeppers but they all seem to agree, if that storm changes its
direction even slightly, could make a big difference! So I prepared
in case.

Same here. They can’t really tell so they are hedging
their bets. I vote to give it to the Sable Island ponies.

It seems that snow has stayed south and moved east to ocean instead.
Sable Island ponies will be the sole recipients.

Uh-huh. Couple of inches down at 5:30 PM, falling steadily with gusty
swirls. And I have not been magically transported to Sable.

Damn groundhog is due for a spell in reducation camp, profession
skills upgrade or similar.

Same here. It started about 1/2 hour before dark. We
have 3-4 inches now (8 PM.)

The radar shows a strip right along the coast from about
Shelburne to Sheet Harbour, and about 25-35 miles wide.
In other words, right on top of us. Something to do
tomorrow, I suppose.

Lol I heard someone say that the last lot should be known as
Shubenacadie Slam since just that morning Sam made his prediction :)

Stopped snowing after midnight, well over a foot but hard to estimate
as there's a lot of drifting. Feh.

About a foot here, too. I have been looking at it since
about 7 AM. I spent a week shovelling and then chipping
ice with a steel shovel (a couple of hours a day), getting
rid of the last lot. I really* don’t want to do anything with
this crap. But I will.

We should lynch that groundhog.

It doesn’t matter what you call him. We are lynching
him! (See my other post.)

I cleaned out the entire yard today. Four hours. This
snow was different. While there was over a foot, it was
light and dry. The last lot was wet, heavy and sticky. Even
though the forecast might change, there are no storms in
the next 5-6 days predicted.
