What we're left with----







These pictures don't really show just how thick the ice is, but it's the best I could do. I tried to get a good shot of the fence with about 2" of ice on it, but not sure if I succeeded. The sun was shining today, but it didn't get warm enough to melt any of the ice/snow and the road grader never made it to our county road, I am pretty much stuck. Doyle's car has been parked at the end of our drive, or we wouldn't have gotten out the last two days. We tried for about 2 hours this morning to get onto the county road and then the highway so I could go to work. We gave up after my nephew had to pull us out of the pile of crap that the highway department pushes to the shoulders. Yes, I want the highway cleared BUT they pile it so high that if you don't have a 4-wheel drive vehicle you get high-centered. Rant over!!! By the way, thanks to Marc for coming and helping. Doyle will be working tomorrow so I will probably not be. The ice and snow is so hard and deep that my car will not make it out of the driveway. We could have both shoveled all day today and still not gotten the driveway done. So, my car will stay in the garage tomorrow and I will stay in the house. We really don't have that much bad weather, so I feel like a total baby bitching so much, but I really just want it to be spring, NOW!!!!
