Snow up to my hips, still going strong

 

I didn't want to do another one until the car disappeared.  

You can see that we are caught in a 'hook'.  That means we have a steady bypass on the edge of the storm and the wind is reversing off Lake Ontario.  That was also our last big storm, and the conditions for the storm after it, put the hook just north of us and we didn't get any snow.  Physics is neat!

I looked at the drifts on the back patio, and they are up to my hips.  I can't get the dog to break through them.  I would have to swim through them to get to the snowshoes in the back shed.

ps yeah!  found the dog
