86. When you have to stamp out an area for a big dog to do a poopy squat in

Tue Feb 4, 2014, 03:08 AM

Feb 2014

then it's a LOT... as in WAY too much.

This crap was less of it but worse than last week in that last week it was light fluffy stuff you couldn't make a snowball with whereas this time it's soggy and heavy as hell... you can barely lift a shovelful. And now we're supposed to get more crap piled on top of this tomorrow or the next day. Once again, my week is fucked.

At least we aren't in zero temps anymore and the nasty winds have finally gone missing. This time it's way more slippery though.

I'm sick to death of this, but the dog is having the time of his life.
