Snow, snow and some more snow

A chill wind it started to blow
It blowed and it blowed drifts of snow
I got out the shovel
It was lots of trouble
But the snow blower just wouldn't go.

Dumb limerick, but true. Here's the moribund snow blower. Ain't technology grand?

The snow can make driving a challenge, especially the getting up the driveway part. I have a horrible car eating driveway. It's very steep, has a curve in it, has a stone retaining wall on one side and a drop-off of several feet on the other. Which is why I drive a Subaru -- all wheel drive, my winter friend.

Kitsu decided to inspect the bird feeder today. Here she is up to her belly, hollering for help.
