The snow in my yard is so deep that
yesterday the dogs let me break the trail on our walk. Knee deep and over on me, over their heads!

Fulton, NY

1. Dig a pit. Start a fire (fire in the snow is wonderful) and have sex.
Well, that's what WE do. I've got a fire pit (stacked bricks) in the back. I have to put up saw horses to ward off the sledders because our yard is the runway from the hill. There's no way in hell I'm going to pull a Grampy McCain "GET OFF MY LAWN" thing. Kids need to sled and I'm happy to have them use my yard. I just don't want them to hit the bricks. And we don't do the sex part until after the kids have gone home.

2. Hey I'm over here in Sandy Creek!
We got buried yesterday too. The dogs are loving it. Me not so much. I have broken out the snowshoes yet.

3. This thread is useless without pictures!
Had to be said. :) I can't believe NY is getting hammered so hard and New England remains unscathed. :wow:

4. "Hammered" is a relative term - I have 2+ feet of snow on
my fields out back, but the road out front is wet pavement.

6. That's cool
It is all relative - I have a cousin in Wales who got about a foot of snow and his town shut down for a week! :rofl:

Of course, it was 50 degrees here in MA a few days ago and my friend in VA was complaining of snow and freezing temps. Maybe it is the end of the world, after all? ;) Strange year.
