Where To Put The Snow.

Up at the crack of dawn to shovel out the back yard. We have 15" of snow so far and still counting. It is too much for two disabled dogs to cope with so we had to shovel an area out for them to go potty. The top photo is the snow about to cover our windows. When it is raked off the roof it will cover our windows.

The weather people predicted up to 8" and it was supposed to stop three hours ago. The storms have come this year about one week apart and each storm dumps about 14-15" each time. We are at the point that we have run out of places to put new snow. The above photo reflects our 6' 4" fence in the back yard - the piles are higher than the fence and we can only throw the shovels full so high. They just roll back down and we shovel 2-3 times the same snow. Our heavy snow months are ahead of us still.

Since we have lived here 21+ years we have had high snow piles but never like this where there is no place for new snow. Just getting the dogs a place where they can go potty is a dual effort. Next shovel off the deck and then plug in the tractor and do the driveway. We are not really into our snow season yet compared to past years and we are wondering what to do with the new snow the next 3-4 months.
