Imagine you're sitting at your dining room table ready for supper. The table is set, nothing is amiss on the table's surface...the food is piping hot...but you'd be sitting in snow. Reach into your pocket... snow. Drop your fork... gone. Forgot the ketchup...you'd be wading back into the kitchen, the snow way over your Sorels (nod to fellow Canadians). Don't even attempt to open the fridge's bottom drawer.
We are are approaching a meter. 😕
It's equal parts alarming and hilarious. Winter travel is doubly concerning. Our community is doing a great job with snow removal but they can't contend...it's relentless. It's also my youth relived, but with climate change, well...we haven't had this much moisture consistently for about a decade...maybe two? Hence I apologize for complaining, but...there's a deer attempting to shelter under my deck. Enough.
Even the trees are alarmed. Examine the photo: I'm 73% sure that's some sort of tree spirit and I'm 100% sure he's exhausted.
Dear friends, there are apparently about 90 days until Spring (insert Canadian-style guffaw here), so in the meantime, what to do, but just go with the flow snow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of winter.
It builds character, and by character I mean, perhaps villain, ha.
DeleteI do a minimum of shovelling so can't relate but you're right, it does look like the snow has created a creature!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too!
DeleteWhat an ode to snow! Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteYou too.
DeleteThat tree does look exhausted. Stay safe and stay warm.
ReplyDeleteIn the 2020s, we're all exhausted, but now with snow.
DeleteOh yes my pareidolia was already hard at work on that image before you mentioned it. We’ve just lost some of our snow in a typical January rainthaw in December. It’s crazy I tell ya.
ReplyDeleteYou know what else is crazy? Your word-choice, in a good way. Well done, sir.
ReplyDeleteCodex: And yet it's soooo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat's the mindset I covet today. Thanks.
DeleteCodex: I've had my fair share of Dude wheres my car snow days.
DeleteIt rained yesterday. Rained. After three weeks of frigid weather. And just like that, much of our snow is gone. Apparently it's feast or famine in that department.
ReplyDeleteYikes, brown Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my best to send warming thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteI think the snow monster wants to walk inside! Linda in Kansas
