I awoke to these snow drifts near my door.
The little indentation on the lower left is where I hit this snow drift with the handle of my shovel.
This drift was against the side of my house and continued across my front steps. I had to shovel before I could get out the door!
Happy weekend, everyone. 🙂
In the Net! - Pictures and Stories of Life 
Sensous…
And cold. 😉
Yeah
I have heard stories about people being trapped in their houses. Gives a reason to keep your shovel by the front door. +6 here this morning at 6 AM. How crazy is that? Happy Saturday Lynette. Allan
Yes, I have heard that too. I always keep the shovel near the door and was able to get the door open a bit, enough to get the shovel through to push some of the snow out of the way. I certainly got some early morning exercise!
You have +6? Yikes! Penticton is not that warm. That IS crazy.
I hope your door opens in! I had to take the glass out of the storm/screen door when that happened to me, so I could step out on to the porch to shovel.
Unfortunately not. 😉 I had to work at getting the door open enough to stick the shovel through to push some of the snow out of the way. The window on my screen door is only in the top half, so I’m glad I didn’t have to do that!
Reason #74 why I couldn’t live in a frigid area!
Hahaha. 🙂 Once I leave I’ll be happy not to have to experience that type of bone-chilling cold again!
I’ll never complain about our Vancouver Island weather again.
Hahaha. Penticton’s weather has been in the windy and drizzly -1 to +5C area. To me, that sounds wonderful!
Wow! I think I’d be tempted to forget the door and climb out the window instead!
With some work I was able to get the door open. My screen door window is in the upper half, and climbing out of it in a parka might be a bit of a chore. 😉
I hear ya’. Looks like cousin Sherry’s place.
Unfortunately, you need to explain who cousin Sherry is. A snowdrift expert? 😉
Okay, got it! Your Alaskan cousin! 🙂
Sorry. I mentioned her in another comment. She lives in Wasilla, AK.
Yes, I found the comment, so I understand now. I did respond. Cheers. 🙂

I guess this means that you have to keep a shovel inside your house just in case you get snowed in!! That looks like quite the snowdrift.
I actually do keep a shovel just inside the door as this has happened before. I’ve heard of people having to get out through the other door or a window in order to clear snow away from an outward opening door that’s blocked by snow, but I haven’t experienced that, thankfully!
