It snowed again today--a lot.  Stuck inside the house, I was bored, so I started taking some pictures.

Window

This is the picture window in the bay area of the front of our house.  I camped out on the couch for a long time and just watched the snow falling.

Biki_stairs

Nabiki can't stay still, so she was playing on the stairs.  OMG, I actually got a pic where you can see her bobbed tail!  She never poses like that!

Cat_nest

Tegan, meanwhile, was lolling about in her "cat-nest".  That is, incidently, my comfy chair.  She has decided that it was hers.  Sorry, I couldn't seem to get a good picture of Hickory.  She refused to sit still.

Shelly_house

Can you tell I really love my next-door neighbor's house?  It's about 10 years older than ours, a true Victorian, with stained glass windows and tons of charm.  And it looks fantastic when it snows.

Dj_house

A picture looking up the street.  I was trying to snow the snow coming down, but it doesn't come out well in the photograph.  There must be some kind of technique to capture that.

Duplex

And down the street as well.  You can see how the snow is piling up on the roads, despite the best efforts of the snowplows.  This, incidently, is the duplex that burned down a couple of years ago.  They fixed it up pretty well, for a rental property.

Once again, upon orders from my mother, I am to post pictures of our recent snow, since I have been complaining about it so much.  So I bundled up and took my camera out into the 16 degree F freezing-cold weather to document our sorrows.

House_snow

Here is the front of our house.  The path in the middle has been dug out a couple of times, which is why it is a couple of inches shorter than the yard.

Yard_snow

The larger (sic) part of our yard, covered in the white stuff.

Yard_snow2

And the smaller part of the yard--it's ours up to the bushes.  Doesn't our neighbor's house look picturesque?

Garage_snow

The side-yard.  You can see the 6-8 inches of snow stacked on the air conditioner on the right.  That's our neighbor, Bill, in the background.

Hydrant

The hydrant kind of gives you an idea of how deep this stuff is.

Icicles

If you look closely, you can see icicles dripping from the eaves.

Snowblowing

Bob usually handles the snowblowing.

Shovelling

While I shovel out the front walk and stairs, since it is difficult to get the snowblower up there.

Double_snow

The Hills are Alive...with the sound of snowblowers!  (La la-la-la)

Me_snow

And finally, a picture of me in the snow so that my nieces will know kinda what I look like.  (Actually, I look a lot like Jeff, only female and somewhat smaller.)
