It first snowed, excuse me, blizzarded, on Tues, Feb 1st. That day I began shoveling the drive, and think I shoveled 5 different times. Again on Wed, Thurs and Fri. Below is what I had accomplished by Friday afternoon, and when I went out again about 6 pm the street on my side had been plowed, and the plow scooped the snow from around the entry to my drive. On Saturday I could get out! Wait a minute... these pics may be mixed up, but I don't want to take the time to figure it out.
I'm kind of mixed up, but I think it snowed again Friday, covering up 3 days of work. This snow was only 4.5 inches and very easy to remove, but I still had to shovel.
So I got it all shoveled off again. Then the street plow came.
After the 3rd snow today, I had to start all over. This is only 6 inches deep, dry and light, and is very easy. In fact, I don't even have to put my boots on which is great, because toes are just a bit tired of the tight boots. I used the Shadow/Highlight adjustment so you could see the level of the fresh snow. I'll go out in a little bit and shovel some more. It is the only exercise I'm getting during all this, so I don't mind too much.
Most of each day has been spent at my command post: a chair in front of my tiny computer desk, about 8 ft from the TV, music stand and instruments almost at my side. With my curtains opened to the back I can watch the snow and birds. One early day in the snow in I noticed how this viney thing resembled a leaping man with no head. The no head business doesn't bother me, because the whole thing is so fun to look at.
I here I used some PS filtering to make the vine man stand out. Below is the non-adjusted image
