A Shitload Of Snow [Edit: Added One Fun Photo]

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

We've had alternating heavy snowfall and clear skies. Below are a few pics from this week taken in our backyard.

That snow was cleared from the driveway. That firewood is practically inaccessible right now. We are fortunate in that there's plenty of space in the backyard for snow. Some newer districts have houses closer to each other and no place to dump snow shoveled from the front yard.

This gooseberry bush is half buried in snow.

Here's a picture I took of the same bush in the summer:

That corrugated metal is part of a couple of roof tiles and below them is the gutter full of snow.

The title says it all lol. I suppose you are getting your shovel out daily to clear the driveway.

Almost. It wasn't necessary yesterday. I was out clearing walkway to the front door and the driveway for an hour today. Only good for my health. lol

This is nothing compared to what can be expected in March. Then we will have alternating thaw and very cold nights. A snow plow clears the street but that may leave a 20-35 cm tall barrier between the street and the driveway. If it hardens during a freezing night or if it is already made up of chunks of compacted ice and snow from the street, you need an iron shovel and a lot of time and patience to take it down to be able to drive off.

I'd love to be able to use a flamethrower to get rid of the snow and ice swiftly and efficiently. lol

I suppose you could just pour a flammable liquid and light it. Would be quicker and more fun.

I wonder what our insurance company would say about that. :)

It seems that there is enough snow there as well. Here in northern Norway it is also cold and a lot of snow. Great pictures, thank you for sharing.😊

This is a lot of snow. It will be difficult going out at that moment I guess

The front yard is cleared of snow now.
