I couldn't resist this one. Am I the only one who has a mailbox that refuses to stay closed? And always at the WORST time.
Believe it or not, I DO. We kept the huge snow shovel from when my hubby moved to Connecticut for a job, and I stayed here in Pensacola because Mom was here. We use it for scooping up leaves after we rake them in a pile. It really works! How cold is where you are? My sister is in Jacksonville and freezing rain/ yukky stuff.
The dogs look happy. It's 28 here in Harlingen, TX, had drizzle most of the day but it stopped before sun down
55 degrees here now. We have a snow shovel, too and use it for exactly the same thing - oak leaf piles in the spring!
@robertfreise @barbult Kinda wish you could have experienced this- it was beautiful. Just not enjoying the icy cold. I just went to feed Shadow (the stray cat I've fed/sheltered in a heated tent for over 15 years) and he is NOT in his shelter. It is low 20's and it is SO frustrating for him to LEAVE a perfectly good shelter. I even put kitty litter on the front porch so he wouldn't have to go far to potty. (It's away from his shelter.) So just not going to worry about it, the other wee hours he came back and got in at about 3am- but it was much warmer.
I just read There might be up to 5.1" of snow in a band from Mobile, AL to Destin, FL, be careful. I have to go 100 miles to Lexington today but the roads are salted here pretty well. I even salted my driveway as it's steep and I can't drive back up it when their is snow and ice on it.
Okay! Now, to remember your Colorado times, go swimming in that pool.
And I must apologize, that storm you got, well it was ours that gained juice on its way to you. We are expecting some more later this week on top of the frozen snow that is left.
The pups look like they are a tad bewildered. Guess they need to grow-up in a climate to know what to do.
My Lhasa Apso puppy Beowulf knew his first winter in England, he slid down the three-tiered waterfall in our front garden that was iced over and crashed through the lower one. Got slimed. I had to carry him upstairs and give him a bath. Sean just broke a box down, went sledding with neighbors on the moat at Framlingham Castle.
I hope your pipes are okay and remember to watch out when the temps start to rise for breaks and leaks.

@memcneil70 I love that name Beowulf! Got the outdoor faucets totally wrapped, left the indoor cabinets open (many folks forget about that. It helps keep pipes warm, but I can't imagine that warmth goes very far.) It's fun today to see the loquat tree snow dropping large chunks of melting snow into the pool. It makes little tidal waves like when the glaciers drop part of their ice. We have a lot of shade so some of this will still be here in a few days, when my son visits from Oklahoma. Both sons will be here at the same time, so we're going to enjoy all being together for over a year. Thank goodness this didn't hit when he was flying in!
That is wonderful news about the boys. It is hard when they growup.
Also, if your trees have built up a lot of snow, remember to take a broom or something to them to shake them free. We have lost a number of tree branches around here due to snow when the trees have leaves and the branches couldn't hold the weight. And stand back! We were warned repeatedly to keep the breezeway doors closed, but each morning I would wake up and find someone had come home and opened the western door wide and the air was fridged. I would walk down, slam it shut, it took 3 days to get the message across. Couple years ago below us, there was a major water pipe break and four apartments had their floors and everything on them ruined. One apartment had just moved into a new home, so they were safe, but three families lost a lot of property and had to move so the apartments could be repaired, including walls.
Beowulf's name was due to us living near Sutton Hoo, just down the street actually when we moved into housing at RAF Woodbridge finally. He was a very fierce little dog. The neighbor's cat would collect him in the morning and take him for 'walkies' around the Knoll and return him to the front door. Framlingham was a magical place to live.

Yep, I grew up in Indiana and was stationed in Colorado for 4 years- although I was at an apartment complex there and didn't have to shake the trees! Here we were lucky and had snow, no ice, and it was the medium density (not the heavy, moisture-laden kind.) My loquat tree branch dipped over the pool but it was a very mature, thick branch so fortunately it did fine. Today was a big melt day, but we have a lot of shade in huge parts of the yard, so we're keeping our snow longer than most neighbors. It's interesting to see the pattern up and down the street! I'll keep you posted on our melt, the snow that melted from the roof was literally pouring off the house.
We had a little trough drop snow from Friday night to last night across upper Colorado and I woke this morning to 16F real feel 6F. The warnings went out yesterday for road/walking conditions of every bit of snow/ice/run-off would become ice slicks. Very glad I don't need to go out today.
Even if you don't buy, look at The Alchemist's interior set for the Notre Dame that was released today. I bought the exterior when it came out. The quality of the work is a joy to look at and a great appreciation to the artists who rebuilt the cathedral. I also appreciate the documentation that comes with the products.
@memcneil70 That interior is stunning!
