So after a few days of digging my car out, clearing the driveway, pathway and sidewalk out of snow, my muscles are still a little sore.
This winter season has definitely been very brutal. It is only February and we have already accumulated approximately 60 inches of snow.
A little over a week ago, we've had about two feet of snow. This week, another two feet. Shoveling the snow has been very exhausting. Luckily, my next door neighbor has been very nice and plowed my sidewalk everytime it snowed.
Our office was closed due to the snowstorm, however I still had to work from home and make sure that my duties were completed. This is also the reason why I was not able to shovel the snow as soon as it stopped snowing. Normally, I would start shoveling the snow off of the ground because it is much lighter than a compacted snow. It gets compacted and heavier if I let it sit for a day because as the sun shines on the snow, it melts, then refreezes, becomes ice and then it gets heavier. 
The trees in my my backyard are still kissing the ground due to the weight of the snow.
The snow was really thick by the time I stopped working but apparently, the snow did not stop falling down from the cloudy, gray, skies.
I did not believe my daughter when she told me that the snow were almost at the same level as the fence in our backyard.
In the morning, I was also delighted to see these icicles from my kitchen window.
And of course, the dreaded, big dig!
I knew, that I needed something to drink or eat after shoveling the snow. As a result, I decided to stick my left over vodka in the snow so that I could take a few shots after the dig.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find my vodka after the dig. It was completely buried in the snow. So, I took a shot of the left over jagermeister! Yipes!
Over all, it was a good experience. The dig, the drink, spending time with daughter, and of course free time with the fireplace and movies! Too bad, wifey was stuck at work! :)
