Shoveled My Snow Here In Central Pa.

Took me 2 hours, can't get to my snowblower because I have an outside cat locked in my garage being treated for a corneal ulcer.

I enjoy the exercise, don't enjoy the 20 mph winds.

I use my leaf blower to blow off the front porch and back deck but 5 minutes later the wind blows the snow back on them, it's like filling up a hole with water at the beach.

The plow driver finally did a decent job of plowing the street, I only had to shovel a part of the street.

I think we only got about 5 or 6 inches but with the wind it drifts. The forecast doesn't look that great for the next couple of weeks, I tell myself it is making me appreciate spring all the more. I didn't see any robins today, I'll keep looking.

Looked for while like he would lose his eye but the vet came up with an antibiotic that worked, his eye is on the mend after 5 weeks of drops.
