Dad has been wishing for a snow day all winter and it finally happened but at the price of over 3 hours of shared shoveling! I think I might have rathered gone to work.
As you can see... we were in over our heads with this storm! Dad enjoyed knocking down the overhang after this picture and I had to restrain him from doing it before I snapped the shot. (Yeah, all of you Sugiyamas know that you wanted to knock that snow down.) He couldn't wait so after I took the shot, he hit it with the shovel and my face, head, body etc was instantly snow coated as the snow blew everywhere.
As you can see, I helped with the snow removal. I figured that if I didn't Dad would get a heart attack. I heard Dad say "I should have had another boy..." but I can tell you... I did my share. I insisted that we do it in segments and we took 2 breaks during the 3 plus hours of shoveling. Both of us were sore the next day. It would have been a great time to have hired a snow plow. But the positive side is that I didn't have to go work out. Done and done.

Enjoyed my snow day as well...but had to shovel myself out this morning. bummer.
Wow, mom looks so happy to be shoveling. Maybe she's on crack? Just kidding mom. Luv the pictures. Wish I had been there to shovel!!
Man I'm jealous. All we get here is 50 degrees and sunshine during our winter; who would enjoy that? Actually, we just had a freezing cold two days (but I guess we were due).
Yeah, you notice that my happy face was at the beginning of the shoveling... (note the driveway was still full). I did not have a happy smile 3 and 1/2 hours later. Our neighbors shoveled out just enough to get their minivan out and they drove to Florida. that's the idea!
