I know this sounds crazy...

I know this sounds totally crazy.  But I really kind of miss the massive snow piles.  I was talking to a great friend today who told me that the snow is piled so high at her house that they have made a toboggan run off of there deck and into there yard for there little girl.  (this deck attaches to the house from the second story so it's BIG).  I know, like many others in the city) that we were running out of places to put the snow, it was hard to throw the snow that high when Dave shoveled. I don't shovel it's a "blue chore".  But it was kind of mystical and fun walking down the sidewalk to get the mail or whatever and having the snow piles higher than your head.  It really was a real life winter wonderland. Then the temperatures soared above 0, the snow piles got heavy, settled into themselves, and started to melt.  I miss watching my very big/little wuss of a dog having to clear a four foot snow bank to get to the part of the yard that she does her business in.  But now, the snow has settled, even melted a little bit and I am kind of sad to see it go.  I/we had great plans to make awesome snowmen.  But now it is gone. Well not gone, but, there is much less of it then there was a week and a half ago.  The good part is, it is only February.  There is a lot more winter left and I really have now where to go until April 11.  Snow I say Lamenia (don't know if I spelt that correctly) bring on the SNOW!!!!

  2. Post some more photos of the remaining huge piles of snow!! Brandy must be freezing when she finally makes it back into your house! I am nostalgic about snow - it's really very pretty. I also miss the brightness of snow - it is so grey here, I am having a hard time adjusting to it.
