Snowedin

Felt like a late-winter day out there with that chilly wind. Had to do a double take after checking the temp too. 36 for a high is pretty insane in early April, all whacked out climo aside. Of course, I’m sure when I go away for a family wedding late next week we’ll be torching into the 70s lol.

Sleet and a house shaking rumble, wtf!

Just finished the last round of raking and man it’s rough with that stuff breeze off the ocean. A basic hoodie and tee just ain’t cutting it today.

Was just sitting outside enjoying the those few glorious peeks of sun and warmth and like clockwork, it’s like someone turned on a giant refrigerator and we tumble back down again. Gotta love the bipolarity of early spring in New England.

We never put it away. Paid the price bigly of course

I still have a few crusty, muddy, weenie snow piles hanging on in the far side of the back lawn. It’s pretty damn incredible considering all the rain and relative warmth we’ve had recently. That pack has practically been bulletproof since late February!

Another tree just came crashing down in the woods behind us. If I’m keeping count properly, that’s three so far this evening. Hopefully any non ravenous bears lurking nearby can kindly confirm these statements.

Pouring buckets..just imagine if this happened about two weeks ago

Nothing like a good pre-spring downpour mixed with a little thunder to get this ol weenie pumping! Let’s get those lawns nice and swampy baby.

The snow just doesn’t want to quit! I guess I’m staying true to my name today

A true blizzard by all accounts here on the south shore. Can’t even walk without getting plastered with snow and wind. Pretty sure I heard a few trees come down in our neighborhood when I was shoveling. I think we’re at 16” now and those bands are still dumping!

Much needed too! I’m at about my wits end with trying to slowly break up some of the ice on the roof. It was cool as hell though seeing a huge flock of robins drinking from a few tiny melted drops the other day on the shingles. They must be so desperate right now for any unfrozen sources they can get their claws on!

It’s all over. Shut em down, get them shorties out of the attic and let’s start tanning those beautiful napes baby!

The problem is there has been so little melting taking place these last couple weeks and any ice that’s formed just keeps building on the roof. I’ve been outside almost everyday since Friday trying to get it under control. It F’ing sucks in this cold.

No please, I’m done with clearing ice jams off the roof and sending my poor heart into overdrive. Let’s put that on the backburner (or shall I say back breaker) for 2027, mmkay?
