Relative Something

So much snow, so little time. Because I wasn’t able to finish my igloo on Sunday, I’m chomping at the bit to find a chance to get back at the project. Unfortunately, between the demands of the day job and the busy holiday events schedule, the opportunities for playing with igloo construction look to be few and far between. So, what happens on Monday? Snow, snow, and more snow.

I did sneak out of work a little early yesterday, but the free time which that was supposed to provide was consumed by the long, slow commute home in the storm, and then the hour of shoveling in the driveway. We had about 4 more inches on the ground when I got home and another inch was accumulating while I was shoveling.

I ended up spending extra time on the shoveling project because I needed to do some modifications to the piles lining both sides of the drive. It was time to climb up and push the tops back to flatten them out a bit. There’s always that chance it might snow again. Tomorrow is the first day of winter. I’m already having difficulty throwing the snow over the mountains growing on either side of the driveway.

Meanwhile, that half-built igloo waits just a short distance away, filled with a fresh new blanket of insulating snow. It would have been ideal to have finished building it before this dose of snow. The new snow cover would have looked a lot better over the domed roof of the structure than on the open floor.

Hmm. That reminds me of something…

Happy winter!
