Don’t you love Spring? Birds chirping, flowers blooming and 13 inches of f@#king heavy wet snow. These pictures are from this morning before I went to work.

Shoveled 8 inches at 3:00 pm yesterday, another 4 inches at 7:00 PM and another inch, plus the massive mound of snow piled at the bottom of my driveway by the plow truck this morning.
This is where I normally place my trash cans on Thursday night.
Pretty good job with just a shovel. Avalon says we need to buy a snowblower for next year. She’s been saying it for the 23 years we’ve lived here.
We also helped shovel my neighbor’s house across the street because her husband is away.
After the last two days, I wish I was back at the Shamrock.
You are quite mistaken my good sir. That is not snow, that is 13 inches of Global Warming sitting on that table. 😉
Snow ,less than an inch was 16 hours late here north of Boston. Now raining. Weather channel kept predicting another horrible n,oreaster here. Wrong

I wash my hair with snow
The lyrics are absurd but i love that movie. One of my favorites. Innocence level off charts.
Jealous of your snow btw. Another snowmobiling season ending here. That snow a bit north woulda made my week.
Yeah. Having a perverted mind when I hear Rosemary sing those lyrics I’m thinking along the lines of, “I want to be double penetrated with dildoes made of snow…”
I find that loudly whistling Christmas tunes puts everyone around you in a cheery mood. “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go…”
Well, in Phoenix they don’t have any water so be happy?
That heavy snow is a pain.
On the bright side, without having a snow thrower, you don’t need an expensive membership to Lifetime Fitness or Powerhouse gym.
You get your strength and cardio workout with a shovel in winter.
(Full disclosure. Snow thrower will save your lower back, and they’re a fun tool to use. Especially on the crud the plow trucks deposit at the foot of your driveway. You’ll find yourself clearing more than just 1 neighbor’s paths, too.)
You keep shoveling those kinds of loads, and you might finish well, in a Highlander Games competition.
Or, dwarf throwing, from a boxing ring.
Nice crib, by the way.
I read both of these…I hope both authors are dead wrong…if they are right I suggest buying stock in any company that sells fur lined jock straps! (Wool clothing will also be a good investment).
That could be a successful ad for TBP next winter???
COLD TIMES:
No holds barred guidebook to surviving the coming Mini Ice Age. Covers choosing a location, heating, storing and growing cold resilient food and medicinal herbs, water collection and filtering, health preservation, retrofitting for severe cold and heavy snow, storm sheltering, raising chickens, rabbits, goats and other hardy livestock, home defense and firearms, solar and alt energy, psychology of survival and much more. Included are multiple “from scratch” recipes for bread and beer starter cultures, making wines, tanning hides, and how to calculate how much to plant for your group. Wide ranging and comprehensive, the book is drawn from the author’s five decades of experience and education.
DARK WINTER:
• The end of global warming
• The beginning of a “solar hibernation,” a historic reduction in the energy output of the Sun
• A long-term drop in Earth’s temperatures
• The start of the next climate change to decades of dangerously cold weather
• The high probability of record earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
A sobering look at Earth’s future, Dark Winter predicts worldwide, crop- destroying cold; food shortages and riots in the United States and abroad; significant global loss of life; and social, political, and economic upheaval.
It could be freezing just around the corner of the 4th Turning!
It’s the Jews.
You need to check the white balance on your camera, everything is blue….oh yeah, you gots the

Here in Minnesota we got a couple of inches of snow on the first day of spring. Now Friday and Saturday another possible four to eight inches. Thank goodness it’s spring!!
Unless I read it wrong, Soros is a major factor – the factor? – in NOAA…..big surprise? Admin, that driveway is the poster child for a snowblower ad – you’re crazy. Especially now that your labor force is at college!
Same thing here. I generally don’t mind shoveling but this one was a bear to move. Neither me nor my neighbors have a snow blower. But one of them has a big old diesel truck (no snow plow) and he kindly spent the morning bashing through all the compact snow at the end of the driveways. I was grateful for that, so we had beers on our lunch break (a very infrequent but welcome occasion). Cheers.
89 degrees on my back patio. All that snow we haven’t got all winter should by melted away by sunset.

You and the cute chick look plenty warm and dry at the Shamrock, but it already seems a long time ago I imagine.
At least spring snow melts quickly.
Here the fish are jumping and my tomatoes in a planter already are putting on fruit. Short sleeves and sun galore. My AC has been running.
I drop links to this site on others I frequent. Keep up the good words and work.
Same here in Germany. In February it has been like spring. Now we have cold dark wet days, and snow.

Nice house in nice looking neighborhood.
Kunstler will bust your balls for living in the evil suburbia!
I also use a shovel here on the northern plains, mostly ’cause I’m old and stubborn!
Glad to see you still shovel snow; it’s good exercise. I have a snow blower but rarely use it. I prefer to shovel. I use that as my mental excuse so I don’t have to work out that day. Even when I lived in a subdivision that included snow removal in the assessment, I’d beat the little Mexicans to punch and clear the driveway.
That’s some serious OCD shoveling going on there. Nice work.
On the bright side–the 30 blocks of squalor will look nicer and cleaner than they have in decades.
We got 8 inches “officially” but my ruler said more like 10 ( I also used the back porch table to measure)
No more shoveling for me. I use the 4-wheeler w/ a plow. Used it only once this ‘winter’ and the snow was melted by late-afternoon. You people back east are getting it all. We’re about 70% down for snow-pack right now. Maybe even worse than that locally.
Of course, I have a 400 yd driveway to do for my folks, so its either the ATV, or crank up the cat.
Meanwhile – this past weekend on the west coast….

Snow earlier today. Not much.
Now its raining. Quite a bit.
Brrrrr Jim! The palms are swaying and it’s a balmy 85 here in South Texas today… Chip
Well,stop complaining about the snow and buy a bigger truck/heat with wood/expand your carbon footprint and get some global warming going!I have at times been so tired of snow thatI dream of creating a personal carbon footprint large enough to be seen with the naked eye from th eplanet Mars!
I then realize I live in New England and if I don’t like the weather,wait 10 minutes and it will change,Spring in it’s beautiful glory of rebirth will be here for us all soon enough,well,except for those bastards in Canada that keep sending cold fronts our way!
Here in Las Vegas, we have multiple retirement communities of tens of thousands of people who have sworn off shoveling snow ever again. I’m amazed how demand for housing never drops here, but your pictures explain everything. Sunny & 70s here. We get grey days, but less than 30/year. Influx of Eastern retirees is non-stop. I wonder if economic collapse may slow the trend?
Admin posted snow at my house a few years ago when we had major storms for weeks here on the south shore of Boston. Up to my over my first floor windows. I am probably stupid, but I fixed any damage and made no insurance claims. This is how I am wired. Heavy snow is no bargain, my mom’s grandmother died shoveling snow at 56 same age as me, but I ran 3.5 miles on Tuesday so no heart attack this week. I think she smoked and lived in north Cambridge maybe that had something to do with it.
