Uh oh. Bleeb has the car keys again

Polkadot snow?

That’s what my car and yard looked like yesterday!

He’s shoveling sump’n on thick, but it ain’t snow!

It’s pronounced ‘snow shovel’ February!

Got snow then ice. Turned out to be easier to shovel than I thought it would. It was only about an inch or so. Got it done just before the rain came. Nice thing about an inclined driveway is the water drains down to the road and storm drain. So driveway fairly dry.

Got about 4-5 inches of powder then 2 inches of sleet fortunately no freezing rain on Sunday spent Not my Presidents day cleaning up !

%$#@!*& Groundhog.

Now we know why he doesn’t want to go out and shovel snow. That lump in front of the window is her mother.

takes a long time to draw a blizzard.

My uncle used to say,“I didn’t put it there, I’m not picking it up!”

Oh dear something got lost in translation !!!

Meh, talk to me after you’ve had 40" of snow overnight like I had in December 2020. though there are plenty of people in the lake-effect areas of New York that can match or exceed that.

I’m going to have to plow with my John Deere today as soon as it quits snowing. ????

See you in April.

Don’t worry, it’s a short month.

Wait until he wants his dinner. She might be too busy shoveling snow to prepare it for him.

You’re gonna need more than a shovel.

They’re like most folk, the garage is full with their junk so the car is parked out in the driveway.

Ironically, he’s giving her a snow job.

Forget no-shovel February. I’m ready for no-mow July.

Annnd another storm coming Thursday…

More like heart attack February in my area- snow followed by sleet on top turning to an icy crust. Back braking especially at top of driveway plowed in by town plows! But, the days are getting longer, spring is on the way! Hope I make it!

I actually enjoy shoveling snow. The typical driveway can be shoveled off in 15 minutes with a few inches or only up to an hour for a larger amount of snow.

Being tired and healthy beats being sick and tired!

Get out there and shovel, buster! Bleeb needs rescuing!
