The final tally is a lot of snow. I heard Deadwood had 48 inches. I don't know how much we had, because I was too busy shoveling to measure. You be the judge.
We finally made it to the garage and I got my trusty snow blower going. Thank goodness. Kelly got to the tractor. It was a lifesaver. A scoop on the front and a snow blower on the back. We aren't to a plowed road yet, but we are getting there.
That is an unhappy Ella. She doesn't get to ride in the tractor, so she would rather we used the plow truck. That is the plow truck buried below. It can't do anything anyway, because the snow is so wet and heavy. I will start digging her out tomorrow. Poor thing.

No coffee on the porch this morning.

Thankfully, all of the snow didn't collapse my little greenhouse. It held tough.
Well, we are safe and sound. Hopefully, we can get to a plowed road tomorrow. There is 3/4 of a mile to go. We ran out of diesel, but managed to siphon some from my husband's pickup. We should sleep good tonight.
As Mr. Foresterman man said when he saw your photos "holy crap in a handbasket"...

Bonnie! I don't even have words, except to say I'm glad you are alright!
ReplyDeleteWow I cannot believe that I do think you will sleep for sure. This does not feel like October 5th weather. Good luck on the cleaning up and be careful. B
ReplyDeleteI think Mr Foresterman is right I only remember once in my life I saw Snow that thick.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is Oh My! It's October!! I hope it melts soon, and you can enjoy coffee on your porch again!
ReplyDeleteWill it melt? What's the week's forecast predicting? Did you get a warning or was this a surprise? We're suppose to hit 72 this week...
ReplyDeleteWhat an ordeal, I think I can wait for the white stuff. My grandson said he wanted to come play and burrow under the snow so nobody could see him. Glad you are all warm, I picked some peppers yesterday here in SW IA.
ReplyDeleteHOLLY MOLLY ! That is a lot of snow this time of year isn't it ? That's about what we get in the middle of January . It is sunny and rainy here but the temps have been warm . Time for you to get out your woolies already . Stay warm and safe .
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! I can't even imagine that much snow in barely October. I hope it melts fast, I am so glad you all stayed safe and sound. So much work!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lotta snow! I know those of you who live in the mountains expect this, but still, it's a TON of work. Sleep well.
ReplyDeleteMy brain can not wrap around this. What a disaster
ReplyDeleteDid you just want to say, "come on!!"
ReplyDeleteWhew, what an amazing amount of snow for early October!
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteGlad that you made it through the blizzard safe! What heavy wet snow?
We are going to town tomorrow. I have an appointment and we need groceries. Looking forward to going to town.
I agree with you, I hope this in not a foreshadow to what winter could be.
Wow that is some snow - we get a few inches and think we have had a heavy fall!
ReplyDeleteOh my... I' so not ready for snow. It's in our mountains now.... but you... you got the motherload. Stay warm!
