There's a lot of snow around these parts now. We got 35.5 inches out here, and Portland broke its all time record of 27.1, with a snowfall of 31.9 inches of whiteness. The Public Works Dept. says it might take weeks to clear the snow off streets and sidewalks. When you live in Maine year round, yes, you like to see it snow. These days, I'll take that early snowfall, usually around Turkey Day, gotta wish for a white Christmas each December, and maybe a day off here and there to watch a Nor'easter roll through the southern part of the state, but that's about it. And a dropping of this size with frigid temperatures right along with it? I say enough already. I hear Punxsutawney Phil didn't get frightened by his shadow. Good! After this stretch of weather, bring on spring! I think I can take it.
Great pic, Birdman. After a dumping like that, anyone in their right mind would be anxious for spring.
ReplyDeleteI can take it as long as it's purty. When it starts getting messy. . . not so much. xx
ReplyDeleteyou guys really are up to your eyeballs. we're only up to our kneecaps here.
ReplyDeleteIf you're like the rest of the country, the earth is parched for moisture; perhaps it's a blessing in disguise?
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge pile of snow you've got there. I'm not sure where you start to tackle that one.
ReplyDeletei wish i could take a few truckfuls of that snow off your hands and dump it near our pond to melt and refill!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how beautiful it might look, it must be hard for prople to live with it.

Bring on spring!
ReplyDeleteRepeat after me: Adversity brings strength, adversity brings strength, adversity brings strength. Unless, of course, you're under a pile of snow.
ReplyDeleteWith that much snow, watch out for flooding when it all melts. Now you can get out your sled and go play on your local sledding hill.
ReplyDeleteYou guys really got clobbered. I am reading many folks who are ready for spring to come. Be patient.
ReplyDeleteGreat view of the stop sign above the piles. I can imagine you are ready for it to stop.
ReplyDeleteThat is just amazing. I have never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't handle it but then I didn't grow up with such weather. If it's any comfort, your great grandchildren may by planting palm trees along the harbor.
ReplyDeleteOhlala! That's so impressive!!I've never seen so much snow! I understand your need of spring! If only I could send you some sun rays by mail, I would do it to help and comfort you!
ReplyDeleteI like to say I was a POW in Neenah, Wisc. one winter. I feel your pain. I had my fill of snow to last a lifetime. I hope you have a snowblower!
