We've been having a blizzard here in Tahoe and it has been no joke. I've lived in this house for 20 years, I've taken a lot of photos of big storms and my crazy driveway, but this is the biggest year my wife and I can remember. I also can not find any photos of past big years that had more snow. We've been asked to stay off the roads if we can, for good reason, a lot of snow clean-up needs to happen around here.
The snow stopped today but is supposed to pick back up on Saturday. I've been doing a lot of snow removal the last couple of days. Thought I'd share a few photos of the madness so you know it's not all just beautiful sunsets and rainbows in Tahoe...
The snow berms have been massive. And the plows just keep coming back and making new berms again. Oh well, we need the roads cleared and my little Honda 928 snowblower is a lot easier than shoveling.
These guys are my heroes! It's a giant snowblower, they widen the roads after the snow plows go through. It's always fun to stop and watch them for a minute. So loud!
Yup, that's the highest the snow has been on the edge of my driveway. It's kind of cool to see but man has it been challenging.
My office door has needed constant shoveling. When all that snow eventually slides off my metal roof, it will probably take me a few hours to dig out the door, no joke.
Quill dog doesn't mind. He loves everything, including this blizzard...
Here's my wood pile, more of a cave than a nice stack right now... That black thing on the ground on the left is the top of my compost tumbler.
That bar on the right, it's the top of the monkey bars/swing set.
Sigh... Non-stop berms.
My neighbor doesn't live here full-time, most people in my neighborhood don't as it's a big ski resort town, lots of second homeowners and short term renters on vacation. This neighbor always appreciates it when I text him a photo of his house. Look at how much has piled up on the roof! Fortunately, the homes around here are built to take the weight.
Shhh. I didn't tell you this but I believe this house will be listed for sale this summer. Want to be my neighbor? No!? Didn't think so. But living here keeps things interesting.
All done for the day. Back to emails and office work...
Thank you for looking and allowing me to vent for a minute. I hope you are all having a great day!
