Elvis~SPARTA~ Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Well, it's been a bit of fun and a lot of work. Did a 100 km snowmobile ride last week before the latest storm. Snow depth ranging around 6 feet. Step off the machine in the wrong place, sink to your chest. That was before the last storm that added 2 more feet. Spent the day digging out (again) including tunneling to find the wood pile, the propane tank, etc. Will post some pics soon. Here is one from the ride (me standing in center, like you can actually identify anyone): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis~SPARTA~ Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Well here's the view out the front door: Normally, the step off the deck is a 4 foot drop. And you can see what is left of the swing set sticking up above the snow. More later.And its later. Here's the Toyota Highlander. The snow is as high as the top of the SUV. And the path to it was dug out yesterday, but isn't so hot today. Oh, I know, I'll just sneak out the basement door... or not. (excuse the decor, it's a basement)And here's the bedroom view with snow coming to and above the window that's about 6 feet off the ground: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis~SPARTA~ Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Snowshoed over to the neighbors to watch some of the Superbowl and took these on the way back, a view from the road, and a close up. The snowmobile trailer is a bit over 7 feet high. Waiting for the Russians to show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
