    She just doesn't want us to forget her power. In the meantime I have over a foot of snow in the yard and a loose horse to retrieve...

    Let me rephrase that after chasing Saoirse, one of my miniature horses, through the snow after she escaped as the bottom wire grounded out... more like 2.5 feet of snow and it is still coming down hard! At least Saoirse cut some paths for me... definite heart attack snow....

    I understand these guys lay dormant underground for years. But when the weather is just right, they spring up everywhere...

    Was hopeful you had Prius bonding time... mine is tucked safely in the garage as well after 2.5+ inches of dumpage of snow....might be a few days before my girl gets to venture out!

    2.5" of snow is nothing. We had that. The roads are clear and there are large bare spots. The good news is that the storm took almost all the accumulated crap off my car. The bad news is that I'll probably get a replacement load of crap all over the car tomorrow on the way in to the office. I call it Winter Camo. Hopefully my section of the parking lot is cleared.
