Snow Days on the East Coast
Posted on | February 7, 2010 | 1 Comment
This was quite some snow storm that hit us this year, most of the snow we get doesn’t do much, it’s easy enough to usual get in the car and go somewhere. But this time we got hit. 28″ was the official count in the area closest to us.
Two days before the blizzard of 2010, we were placing bets, how much snow would fall… The bets were as follows, 18″ max, 26-32″ max and over 24″.
So once the storm had died down I finally ventured out to see what the damage was… With the depths of the snow varying in many places, from my knees to my waist, I trudged through the masses of the frozen tundra.
The first task started during the morning yesterday, dig a path to the animals. The funnest part about living on a farm. This took four hours of the day, first to the cows and then to chickens. They were all in a tissy, the chickens still haven’t shut-up.
(I’m sure that the cows are going to get cabin fever before the snow melts down enough for them to get out of the corral.)
Flick: Are you kidding? Stick my tongue to that stupid pole? That’s dumb!
Schwartz: That’s ’cause you know it’ll stick!
Flick: You’re full of it!
Schwartz: Oh yeah?
Flick: Yeah!
Schwartz: Well I double-DOG-dare ya!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a “triple dare you”? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.
Schwartz: I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!
From A Christmas Story
Though the other animals are starting to get cabin fever, our little lady just is trotting her little self along. She sticks close to the paths, never venturing outside of them, though sometimes you catch her sticking her head up to try and see what is on the other side of the snow walls.

Your photography, your perceptions, your angles…It’s…Beautiful. And that isn’t all you need to know. Adventures and options are out there, you just need to find them. Like a game of hide and go seek forever fun.
