THE SNOW JUST KEEPS PILING UP

 AND THE SNOWBANKS KEEP GETTING HIGHER AND HIGHER
We woke up to a big dump of snow overnight.  Out on the highway later on my way to Clinton, north winds were causing ground drifting.  Roads had been plowed and visibility was about half a mile.  No problems making it to Clinton and I didn't see any overnight cars in the ditch.  I had an appointment with a Denturist at nine.
 CLEARED A PATH TO OUR CARPORT
 NORTHERLY WINDS BLOWING SNOW ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
 MADE IT TO THE DENTURIST ON TIME
 I LIKE THE DECOR HERE
 All was fine coming home except for small snowdrifts in the westbound lane.  Saw a number of snowplows and snowblowers busily clearing roads and driveways.  Snow shovelers out too.

I'm guessing we had about 12 inches of new snow overnight so I had my work cut out for me.  Instead of taking Pheebs for a Jeep ride I had myself busy with my well-used snow shovel.  Because of the depth of the new-fallen snow each shovel full was not only heavier but the snowbanks were getting higher.  Walking paths and the bird feeder area were priority so I concentrated on that for nearly half an hour before coming inside to rest up for round two.  Shortly before ten the clouds cleared enough for a big blast of sunshine to break through.  All the snow looked so pretty but I still had a lot of it to move around.  And nice to see some melting on the south side of the house where the Sun's rays were digging in.  Hmmmm, the Sun's digging in and I'm digging out.  How's about that for a conflict of interest eh.

 I SHOVEL MY PATHWAYS OUT AND MOTHER NATURE FILLS THEM BACK IN AGAIN
 I'VE BEEN BUSY KEEPING THE LITTLE BIRDIE GUYS FED IN THIS SNOWY COLD WEATHER
I DUMP BIG HANDFULLS OF BIRDSEED HERE 4 TIMES A DAY 
With sunshine beckoning, I cut my rest short and headed back outside to finish up my snow shoveling.  It soon clouded over and I was back inside again but at least my pathways were temporarily clear until the next snowfall which of course is predicted for later this afternoon.  Our day's high was 14F.

 A SHORT PERIOD OF SUNSHINE IN THE FRONT YARD
 I HAVEN'T SHOVELED  OUT THIS SECONDARY PATH TO THE ROAD YET
At the time of posting this tonight, it is again snowing a bit.  At this rate I figure it will be about the middle of August before all this white stuff melts.

 SUN'S GONE AND SNOW IS FALLING AGAIN:((
