Well, we've survived the blizzard

Somehow, with the TV, books, food, and the internet, we survived 24 hours of snow and wind. My back and legs hurt from all the shoveling, but if we hadn't kept up with it, we would have been shoveling a foot of snow at once rather three to four inches at once.

The photo was taken around ten in the morning on Saturday, so we probably got three or four more inches of snow after this. What you're seeing is Jeff about to ruin all my lovely, clear paths; he got the snow off the fabric of the gazebo, then had to shovel it all off.

Cordy is having a wonderful time in all the snow. Kaylee, on the other hand (or paw, as it may be), is up to her shoulders in snow. Hence all the paths dug into the snow.

The sun's out this afternoon and already melting the snow (where is it going to go? the sewers are completely blocked), and Cordy is having to make do with laying down, half-buried in the snow, in the shade to watch for squirrels.

The two humans in the house went grocery shopping today, and except for the idiots who didn't know how to drive in the snow, it was just fine out. We might be flooded in a day or two, but I'm pretty sure we'll survive the Great Blizzard of 2008.
