Moving Day 6 - More Snow!

We received another 3 inches of snow overnight. It is very windy and cold, so nothing going to melt today.

The steps were clean yesterday
Johnnie determined to check out the road conditions, so he bundled up like Nanook of the North and headed to town on foot. The bag is to carry back groceries, if he can find any, in the little market at the bottom of our hill.

Dressing for a stroll in our winter storm!
What is a good improvisation for dry feet when you don't have snow boots? Red Green, eat your heart out!

Another one of the many uses for a ziploc bag!


Johnnie was able to get milk, chocolate (the most important thing), Ringo (the second most important thing) and a couple other items and climb his way back up the hill. It is very slippery. The salt trucks are slowly working their way through town but not sure if they will make it to the residential neighborhoods or not. So now, once again he is looking for some way to dig the car out, just in case the roads get salted.

My husband, he is so creative! Is there anything a man can't do with duct tape?!

The Italian Hillbilly Snow Shovel
This proved to be so popular, not only did he dig our car out, but the neighbor asked to borrow it! Way to go!

  1. Johnnie,
    What is the shovel handle made of? Where did you find the blade?

  2. I love the plastic on your boots. I reminds me of Kelly's childhood stories in Eastern Washington. I never thought if Italy got snow. Guess it does, hugs to both of you. Prayers for you this morning too.
