We were supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow. We got over 4 feet.

Snow is up past my windows. There are 5' drifts. No one can get anywhere as either the roads are under 4' of snow or the roads got plowed and all cars are blocked by 5' ice berms.

I'm about to swim out to my chickens and then commence shoveling to keep my deck from collapsing. Here are some pics while I drink coffee and procrastinate.



My deck, seen through living room window.



Backyard seen through bedroom window. There is normally a wall off to the left.



Front door, looking left. That's about 4' of snow.



Front door, looking straight ahead. The house is raised so that's a snow drift of over 5'.



Front door, looking left toward deck and stairs. You can see the stepladder I used to get onto the deck.





Neighbor's house. Note depth of snow in crook of roof!



Another view of neighbor's house.

I'm worried about both the deck and the chicken run roofs collapsing, especially as we're getting snow on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. There's no good way to shovel the coop roof as it's high and also surrounded by 5' of snow.
