Snow-pocalypse, the Sequel!

When last we saw our intrepid shoveling hero, Mark the Magnificent, he was resting comfortably by the warm fireplace, hot chocolate in his hands.
Alas, the snow was piling up faster than you can say "Super Snowflakes, Batman!"
Wait, that's another hero story....

Yep, round 4 of the shoveling game and Mark is wondering if it will ever stop.
Hmmm....not right now apparently!
He was trying to clear a spot along the fence and front gate, making more room for the dogs to have a 'spot'.

The sledding dreams had been abandoned at the moment, blowing snow isn't much fun for anyone.

Emma was so upset that Buster and Susie were outside with out their coats, but really, she wasn't into sacrificing herself this way!
That's a really weird snow angel, Em!

Susie says, "Mom, is she playing or stuck? I'm not certified as a St. Bernard rescue dog you know!"

Meanwhile, Buster is just trying to find the perfect 'spot' since he's been hanging on by a thread all afternoon. Apparently it's just too much to mess with trying to get over to his favorite swing support!

"Help, can anyone hear me? I'm too short and I can't get out!"

I don't think I shared with Emma that it wasn't a good idea to try and swing today. Or is she just asleep? Hard to tell with a pre-teen!

Oh, wait, she was just trying to find some clean snow to eat - surely that was obvious, wasn't it?
Emma, I think there is PLENTY to choose from! You should be set for a few days....

Ahhh, morning breaks and there are blue skies to greet us!
It really is beautiful to look at, eh?

Yep, it really is THAT deep. What you can't see is that his car is sitting on about 6 inches of snow. It had been snowing for hours when Mark got home Friday night, he had a tough time even parking close to the curb!

The view from the street at the mountain of snow in my front yard. At least we can still find the mailbox!

Yeah, he's smiling now, but I think he's gonna be sore tomorrow!

Here's a look over the fence at my neighbor's garage and swing set. I don't think their kids will be in that sandbox anytime soon! And it looks like the fort canopy is a casualty....

Susie is just taking it all in stride. After all, it's a dog's life!

Stay warm and dry today, we'll be curled up by the fireplace later on, watching the Super Bowl. Can't get much better than that!
