My driveway. That's an 8" thick glacier of ice we have there and we're parked at the top of our rather steep driveway.
I can't get out. The oil truck refused a delivery yesterday, and the pizza delivery guy said something along the lines of "F*** You"!!

This is sooooo much fun!!:barf:

Crappy cell phone picture:

Pizza guy should have slid the box down to you.
Spring thaw must be an adventure.

"Good afternoon!

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Nova Scotia have issued a statement regarding the search for a wanted man in the province. We're sharing this statement as it is extremely important that the public assist the RCMP with this search. The statement is as follows:

"February 18, 2015, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia...The Nova Scotia RCMP are asking for the public's assistance in apprehending Old Man Winter.

Old Man Winter is wanted in relation to a series of storms in Nova Scotia over the past two weeks leaving behind massive amounts of snow across the province.

Old Man Winter hails from the north, moves quickly, and drifts around. Last winter, he often made appearances on Wednesdays however this year, he has been much more unpredictable,

The suspect was last seen Sunday, February 15th after dumping up to 60 cms throughout the province. His known associates include Shubenacadie Sam, Jack Frost, Mother Nature and Frosty the Snowman.

"We've already been in contact with several meteorologists to help us narrow down his whereabouts," said Cpl. Greg Church, Nova Scotia RCMP. "We know that Old Man Winter is calm, cool and collected but may crack under high pressure."

Cpl. Church added "He may be armed with ice pellets so we are asking citizens to not approach him. The best way to protect yourself is with salt, sand or a snow blower."

Since the start of 2015, Old Man Winter has been responsible for numerous highway closures, snow days, excessive shoveling and visits to the chiropractor.

The RCMP appreciate any assistance citizens can provide us in helping locate and apprehend the suspect in advance of Thursday's pending snow."

Have a great Wednesday! smile emoticon An update on the snowfall coming on Thursday will come later today.

That is crazy. Our winter here has been milder than normal with only a few days down to -30. We don't get warm enough to get much ice either.
 
Us too. Would not be abnormal for us to be a couple of feet deep in snow this time of year. We've had ten days of 70 degree weather. Crazy. Took a bg dip last night gonna top out at 55 today.
 
and here I was complaining that there was frost the other night that messed up my tomato starts.

Way too early for tomatoes. They won't grow right and produce fruit until the ground is much warmer. Starting them early won't speed up the process.
I put mine out on June 1st. Regular plants can go out after April 15th here.
