Another Blizzard!







I'm running out of places to pile up the snow. This time, the neighbor kid decided he could use some money. Where was he a week ago?

Storm's over, Sun's out




The neighbors all were out clearing the driveways. The street still has a foot of snow, although the main roads are somewhat cleared. I've had my exercise for a month!
Check the "Storm's over" set.

Snow Day Part II: It's still snowing

From MSNBC






We're now at 2 feet. The office is closed ( I couldn't get in anyway, only one car has been down the street and he had 4 wheel with chains on). Lori and I will content ourselves with a good exercise day of shoveling. The front drive has 3-4 foot drifts, and it's going to take awhile.
Poor blind Chapman seems a bit confused, can't figure out where all the grass went. There's an area in the back yard that we clear out so the dogs can "go".

Snow Day





We have a blizzard in Denver today. It started snowing at 6:00AM, with the storm expected to last 30 hours. By noon we closed the office, it was snowing 2 inches an hour and we weren't going to have any patients anyway.
I stayed longer to do paper work, and left at 2:30. I hoped traffic would have cleared, but cars were getting stuck in the foot of snow that had already fallen. Most had trouble getting stuck on inclines. I fortunately had pants and a coat for outdoor activity, and towed 6-7 cars with the Landcruiser up the hills to get them going, otherwise everyone would have been just parked.
I'm going to save the driveway for tomorrow. More pictures on flickr (click on "blizzard" above). I also included the office decorations for Christmas. The front desk worked pretty hard on them this year.
More pictures of the storm aftermath tomorrow with the sun.
Lori's been clearing out a "special place" for the dogs in the yard. The snows been too deep for them.

Christmas Cards are going to be late!

Moonrise







Working late at the office and noticed the moon coming up. A little blurry due to the long exposure and shooting through a window.
