Last weekend, mother nature covered our area with 2 ft of snow, a few days later, she did again. I swear, she just hates us. I’m tired of winter, I’m tired of snow, I’m tired of the cold. When will it end!!
Damn you Punxsutawney Phil!
In my parts, we celebrate Groundhog’s day (February 2) by bringing out Punxsutawaney Phil (a groundhog) to predict the weather. If he sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. If not, it’s the opposite, early spring. This year, he DID see his shadow and soon after, we were bombarded with a major snow storm that covered our area with 2 ft of snow.
Two days ago, we had a another storm, a blizzard that added more snow to our area. Gr! Snow started falling around 5pm (Rush Hour)Tuesday evening and continued to Wednesday evening. Yesterday, I had off because of the snow. Today, I had to call off because I couldn’t get out of my house.
If you imagined that streets and lanes are waterways, my house is like situated on an island. To the front, we have our main road that connects to our town. To the back, we have a small lane that we share with our 7 neighbors. Usually, I park at the back because there is more room and is more accessible because the main road to the front is extremely busy and hard to back out of. During the winter time, the back lane of my house usually gets plowed. But not this year. Why? I called my borough police department to get some answers and they told me, it might not be a designated road to be plowed. WTF! Every year, you plow it, why not this year? It’s paved too, it’s not a gravel road.
Because of the wind and drifting snow, our back lane is covered in 3-4 ft of snow. Gr, snow stresses me out because I have to worry about my car, my family’s safety, driving in snow, accidents, other drivers who don’t know when to slow down.
In case you didn’t know, I live in one of the Mid-Atlantic states that were slammed by 2 major snow storm in less of a week apart. Damn you snow, I’m tired of you.
My house from Google Maps. I live on an island surrounded by asphalt waterways.

My house from the back, Wednesday morning. Not bad yet, lets wait until the winds pick up.
Before and After of a main road that I travel on daily.

woah that sucks m sorry, i live in the midwest and we got like a foot of snow last week. miss the southeast asia weather so bad. Oh and i wanna let you know that you blog is amazinggg! i love it, keep up the good work. we all appreciate it [=
I know the feeling of frustration. We used to live in New Jersey and winter is outrageous. My brother would announce in the morning 3 layers then next day 5 layers. It is hard to wake up and go to school much more work. Now we live in Sunny California- we had rain last week but since Sat it was like Spring Northern California.
we live in GA and had our 4 inches of snow on friday, it sure did stressed me out too, why, because we are not used to snow and when it snows everything closes. I enjoyed the snow, but it’s so cold and unsafe to drive. 4 inches was bad enough for us, you go feets and feets of snow, much scarier!
Wow. I use to live in Philly so I know what it feels like to be burdened with the snow. I always felt trapped.
That’s so cool! I wish I had snow like that!! Winter is my favorite season!! WHOO!!

Julie, I grew up in snow, I’m not a fan. Snow is pretty when it’s falling, then you have to drive in it, it can get ugly.
