Letting off steam!

I was going to go over and see the Munchkin today but Mother Nature had other plans. It just wasn't worth risking it. It snowed overnight and while it's calmed down a bit now we're due more snow continuing until tomorrow morning. After that it's forecast nice weather so hopefully it'll melt! Still, there's one thing to be said about shovelling snow - it lets off steam, which is good for both my sinuses and my temper tantrum from yesterday! 

Down the road from here!

Out front - the plough had been round first thing though!

Out back - they weren't bothered!

And I know I've posted this before, but I needed to change the thoughts clattering round in my head so had a bit of a binge-watch of Only Fools And Horses! "Play it nice an' cool son, nice an' cool!"

    1. I think I will be able to make it over tomorrow - it just wasn't worth risking the roads today!

  2. It's so pretty ... until you have to shovel it, walk through it, or drive in it!

    1. Agree 100%! The first snow is beautiful - as long as you don't have to go out in it!

  3. Snow! You are so lucky! All we've had are flurries.

    1. I agree it's better to get a good hard snow rather than flurries - but we don't actually have much say in the matter do we!

  4. The scene I'm looking out at today could not be more different than your landscape. Both beautiful in their own ways.

    1. Agree 100%. We're polar opposites weather-wise aren't we! Both just as beautiful, but very, very different!

  5. Gorgeous snow! I don't think anyone appreciates it more than those of us who see it rarely! That being said, I have never, in my entire life, had to shovel snow, which does not sound like fun.

    1. To my mind there is nothing more beautiful than a heavy snowfall with a log fire going and having everything you need right there. However, if you forget something and it's time to get the shovel out .....!

  6. I love snow but I hear you, when you have somewhere you want to be it can be very frustating. Hopefully you'll get out this weekend, fingers crossed! x

    1. It's snowing again now but to be fair they keep the roads pretty well ploughed. I'm going out regardless (wish me luck)!

  7. I fear that the older we are, the more of a fair-weather driver we become or perhaps it’s just being sensible.

    1. I actually forced myself to go over the mountain route to get to Jordan and Jen's yesterday and it was fine. I think as I get older I build up the boogy man so much re driving on the snow and then it's no big deal. Well of course it is occasionally a big deal, but you can usually avoid that right. Please God, don't let me become a wimp!

  8. At the moment there is more snow at our Italian house than there is here in Yorkshire. I am not at all a fan of snow, had enough of that when we lived in Scotland.

    1. I actually like snow - but preferably if it stays in the mountains. The days of having to slog through it to get to work are, thankfully, behind me. That being said, it is pretty isn't it!
