February 24, 2019 - Sunday morning
28 degrees/snow/very windy
Pentoga Road

I just came in from clearing the first of the snow from the drive, deck, greenhouse, and satellite dishes. Until then, internet was nil. Just thought I'd give an update on the current conditions.

Ah, now we have a blizzard warning. Dang.

I don't know how much snow fell overnight, mainly because it's blowing so hard that there's a hundred, million, billion, inches in one place, just a few in another. What I do know is that I had to dig down in a couple of places to clean the roof of the green house this morning.

The snow is well past my waist in the yard and I found myself crawling to the greenhouse more than actually walking.

The deck was cleaned as was the drive, but looking out at this minute, it appears it's filling in again. It doesn't take long for those forty, fifty, and even sixty mile an hour winds to do their magic, especially when we can measure our snow totals in feet rather than inches.

 No doubt we'll be losing some trees in this wind. I just hope they are those in the woods and not around the house. It wouldn't surprise me if we lose our electricity today. All it takes is one tree to fall across these old brittle lines that bring us our power.

That's enough for now. Just thought I'd write while I had the opportunity.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...

Reminds me of when the boys were small and dragged snow in the house during the winter months. Only this time, the boy is me.
