The Ground Hog Day Blizzard - that is what whoever decides these things have called the blizzard we just went through.
Officially 18.7 inches in 3 days which is the 2nd highest total on record for a 3 day period in Madison. We also are now above the average amount of snow for the year and also above last year!
Luckily Scott, Mr. Sneaky Pants, Walker gave us State Workers the choice of coming to work even though all buses were not running and EVERYTHING was closed, or using a vacation day. I love these guy more and more!
My new big ass 208cc 26inch snow blower went through 4 foot drifts like butter with little bits of poop flying through the air. I also got our neighbors driveway because I thought he was gone and our other neighbors mailbox AND the fire hydrant across the street. DJ helped shovel and add moral support with the hydrant.
In fact DJ was the one that actually FOUND our mailbox which had disappeared.
Tuesday night was fun as our sidewalk was perfectly clear of snow but there was a snownado on our front porch that Blake LOVED. He went in and out like 10 times Tuesday night
Milo went out with Blake also and normally he will sit on the mat shivering waiting to come in again but since the porch was where the snownado was he was no where to be found when I let Black in. I called and called and Blake looked worried because his pal was missing.
I was worried because we have had these weird birds hanging around lately and they look HUNGRY! I took this photo last summer!
Milo had gone around to the back of the house. He had to climb a 4 foot drift, go up a snow covered deck and meow at the back door!
The next day Blake was surviving the damage. But he really could not see much!
But he does like the challenge of maze's.
The future weather looks winter-like. Warming up on the weekend, turning cold for a few days and then back to normal sub-normal.
Remember - BASEBALL starts soon. Well - February 22 is the 1st full work-out for theBrewers.
Cheers
Rod
Find out if your supervisor showed up yesterday. If not, you did.
