Do I?
Don't I?
Revisit our first significant snowfall of this winter 2024-25.
Whang it! Full speed ahead.
Here we go with more photos of our first significant snowfall of winter 2024-25.
The progression.
Our first "heavy frost" in early October.
October the 10th our first evidence that winter is coming.
Yesterday, October the 28th. Looks like winter is here!
Today, October the 29th. No doubt about it. From 8 to 11 inches of snow accumulated beginning yesterday and continuing overnight!
Our summer flowers.
Our small Birch sprout (Kathleen's famous Warrior Weed) in the middle above and up close below.
Our Chevrolet Suburban, buried in snow, as seen from our front entryway porch. Nice our sidewalk was shoveled.
Across our street.
The beauty of nature.
Now we are going to "zero in" on our truck.
Do all of you see the beginning of a "snow berm" in front of our truck? Our snowplow crew had begun to clear our main parking area last night and left this berm with no regard to it blocking our truck from exiting!
I was laying in bed at 11 o'clock this morning "waking up". I was looking forward to an easy day and watching game 3 of the World Series with Patti.
Suddenly I thought, "If I don't get our truck cleared off and out of its parking place, the snowplow crew will totally trap our truck".
We are leaving for Arizona in early November and I MUST have our truck free to drive for the next 12 days.
Get it? Got it? Good!
So Your Captain "went to work".
Thanks Dad! That sure feels better!

Where do I park him now?
In his assigned carport space.
We do not park our Suburban in our carport because we like to be able to see him from our bedroom window. He has been stolen once and vandalized (broken into or having his gasoline tank drilled by gasoline thieves) five times. Replacing a gasoline tank costs over $1,000 each time!
In the meantime, the front parking lot had been cleared so back in front Mister R. Richardson Richtoffen went.
The above and below photos show a large pile of snow the snowplow created.
The above pile of snow will remain there all winter getting larger and larger with each snowfall.
The view from our bedroom window.

Cap, It looks like you got the snow as predicted. Gord
ReplyDeleteGord we sure did. It took two days but we got what was predicted.
DeleteLord Have Mercy! So much snow!! Too much snow!! Too darn early! Oh, well. When one chooses to live with Mother Nature we all hopefully learn to go with da flow, eh? I'm a bit concerned that you got out in the wee hours of the morning? Cap, you survived but it is so flirting with hurting yourself. Falling, slipping on black ice....most importantly, experiencing a heart attack!! Please, next time have some youngsters in the vicinity willing to make a few bucks. You know the drill. And, I'm most grateful I'm not digging myself nor my vehicles out of deep fresh snow, or trying to break snow berms that have 'set' stronger than concrete!! Be safe, my dear friends!
ReplyDeleteLove ya both to pieces and look forward to embracing again....in ONE piece! :)
Michael you have lived this! You know all about it! You have driven many, MANY, miles from Wasilla to Kenai winter, summer, spring and fall. Yes it is boring digging ones truck out of the snow. Michael, happily we will be with you soon down in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Thanks so very much for your comment. Cap and Patti
