Snowmaggedon or Icemaggendon...

 




A few pictures from the Snow/Ice storm that came on Sunday into Monday .
Not much accumulation of snow, maybe 6-8" but the ice after....



No power was lost so pellet stove was able to roar all weekend


The outside supervisor enjoyed the warmth for a few hours.


North facing windows iced over.


I laid tarp over the brick steps, it mostly worked with a little ice breaking on the top part.


I "stomped" a path to the sheep shed early on in the storm.
 If I would not have it would have been a skating escapade trying to feed later.
The hose was in the basement, when I took it out and drug it to the sheep it slid along the ice top.


Tuesday I finally was able to clear more ice to get to the driveway the neighbor tried to clear.
I stayed home to work remotely and this was my lunchtime activity.
Driveway was and still is a sheet of ice.
The pathway has a jog around the ice damn from the freezing rain I just couldn't bust through.
Back roads to work are still very ice laden and heavy snow "bumps" to navigate.
A small crossover was following so far up my bumper sometimes I couldn't see the headlights.
What did they think would happen if I slid sideways?

All in all it wasn't the disaster called for but bad enough with the ice.
Another storm is stirring from the south.
Expected this weekend.
We shall see...
