Post-Shovel Mounds

Earlier in the day I took a photo much like the above, on my front porch. It was still snowing at the time. So, I decided to take another one, late this afternoon, once the initial round of shoveling had been finished. The above is the result, taken with the flash on my digital camera. Notice that there is now a mound of snow where before ... there wasn't. We have more shoveling to do as well, but I think it can wait until the morning. Problem is, I don't know where we'll put it all. ;-)

2005 Blizzard in the Northeast

the view from my front porch, 23 Jan. 2005, Norwood, MA

Well, it's our first real snowstorm of the year, a blizzard actually, complete with hurricane force winds. The snow started yesterday afternoon and will probably continue until this evening, though not with such speed or force as the snowfalls of last night and this morning. I'm hoping work is canceled tomorrow. :)

I posted more pictures I had taken this morning, before I bundled up for some shoveling, over on my live journal, if you're interested.
