This is what 10-11 inches of snow, high winds, cold temperatures and no school for 2-- soon to be 3-- days does to a person. It makes them take pictures of the snow. The picture to the right is out of our back door. The snow is about 5-6 inches high on our door, and there's a 3-4 foot snow bank on our deck. I don't think the storm would have been so bad had it not been for the strong winds.
Jeff is shoveling out the end of our driveway and into the street here. As of today at 6:38 p.m., we have not had anyone plow the street. Stupid Omaha.
We only shoveled half of our driveway-- we are SO sore. There were 2-3 foot drifts on it, and the sidewalks. Since I hurt my back a couple weeks ago, my chiropractor asked me to not over exert myself. I did anyway, because I felt bad for Jeff doing a lot of the snow removal!
Another picture of the bottom of our driveway and the street. That's a lot of freaking snow!
This is looking from the east side of the sidewalk up towards our house. We have a 5-6 foot snow bank from removing snow from only half of the driveway. UGH. I have no idea where we're going to put the rest of the snow!!
The part I'm the most upset about is that I'm missing 3 days with my students at the end of the semester. My freshmen won't be able to watch Romeo and Juliet (yes, the Leo one!!), and my honors classes won't be able to fully discuss the id/ego/super-ego about Pip in section 1 of Great Expectations. My journalism courses should be ok...we have video shot for broadcast and I made sure all of the yearbook deadlines were in before I left Monday--it's only the cover and end sheets at this point.
Let's hope there's school on Friday!! There's only 3 school days until finals next week! AAAAAAHHHH!
